Both Cork City Council and Limerick City and County Council are to review the possibility of opening more public toilets as demand for such facilities continues to grow. With many restaurants and shops closed due to Covid-19, there is an increased need for public toilets to be made available around the country.

On Thursday, Dublin City Council announced that 22 public buildings in the capital, including sports centres and libraries, are to open on a ‘toilet only’ basis. The council said it is important to note that “the primary service provided by these buildings remains closed in accordance with public health guidelines”.
