Kieran O'Donnell (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There has been a large number of queries about the opening of hairdressers and barbershops in Limerick. I have met these traders several times and I will meet them again later this afternoon. They want certainty about when they will be able to reopen. Earlier is obviously better. Can the Minister provide an update on the process? I understand it will be considered by NPHET. When will this happen? When does the Minister expect a decision in this area? Apart from the concerns of the hair salon and barbershop owners, the Minister will appreciate that multitudes are going around with hair down to their knees. It is one area that people want to get back to, in Limerick in particular.
