Two out of every five businesses in the tourism sector have failed to reopen since the lockdown in March to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, with only one-in-eight operating to full capacity.

The results of a new survey by Fáilte Ireland show only 61% of firms reopened for business at some stage in the past six months.
