Wellness retreat for frontline workers seeks clarification on 5km travel rules

Elbowroom Retreat recently offered 50% reductions to frontline healthcare workers.
 
 

The owner of a wellness retreat that had been offering cut-price deals to frontline medics has said she is awaiting a response from gardaí as to whether or not anyone staying there was actually in breach of the 5km rule.

Lisa Wilkinson, who has run the Elbowroom for almost two decades, said she had stopped offering 50% reduced stays at her centre in Wicklow after two medics — Ciara Bolan and Jean Francois Bonnet — rescued a lost dog last month, only to subsequently become the subject of a complaint that they had breached the 5km rule.
