The Irish Hairdressers Federation is calling on the Government to allow hair salons to open for people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

The federation, which represents some 500 salons employing 7,000 people, says such a move would provide "an essential boost to the mental health and wellbeing of elderly people who have been cocooning for over a year.”
