With Restrictions Ending, Ireland Ready To Welcome Back Tourists

The Irish tourism industry is celebrating after the nation's government announced that almost all Covid-19 public health restrictions will come to an end.

Restaurants and bars can now resume normal hours; and restrictions on indoor and outdoor events will be lifted.

The move was welcomed by Tourism Ireland.

"The announcement that most Covid-19 restrictions in Ireland will come to an end is excellent news for tourism and hospitality," said Niall Gibbons, chief executive of the tourism promotion group.

"It means that we can now move forward and begin planning holidays in Ireland with confidence for the year ahead. We will be pulling out all the stops to set Ireland apart from our competitor destinations, to drive bookings and revenues for tourism businesses," Gibbons added.

Tourism Ireland says it will undertake its most extensive marketing campaign ever in 2022.

"Our message - and that of the entire Irish tourism industry - is very simple: we cannot wait to roll out the green carpet and welcome back visitors from around the world," Gibbons said.
