A Kerry TD is calling on the Government to reduce current social distancing measures from two metres down to one as soon as possible to help more businesses to reopen.
Danny Healy-Rae (Independent) said that many hotels, pubs and restaurants in Killarney and along the Ring of Kerry may not be able to open their doors until it is changed.
This week, speaking to the Killarney Advertiser, Mr Healy-Rae said he met with the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar on Wednesday.
"I am glad to have got an assurance from An Taoiseach that he will do his best to reduce the two metre distance down to one metre as soon as possible," Mr Healy-Rae said.
"The Taoiseach was strong in his answer that it could be possible in the next few days.
"This would help businesses who wish to reopen. I have met with many in the Killarney area who have indicated that they won't reopen if it's going to be two metres as the amount of people will be greatly reduced."
