Tourism Ireland hails lifting of Covid restrictions in Ireland
Tourism Ireland has applauded the Irish Government’s decision to lift almost all Covid-19 public health restrictions.
"This is excellent news for tourism and hospitality. It means that we can now move forward and begin planning holidays in Ireland with confidence for the year ahead, "said Niall Gibbons, Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland.
Restaurants and bars can now resume normal service hours and there are no more restrictions on indoor and outdoor events.
This also applies to sports events.
"We can now look to the future with optimism. Tourism Ireland’s priority for 2022 is to restart overseas tourism to Ireland. We will be pulling out all the stops to set Ireland apart from our competitor destinations," Gibbons added.
Tourism Ireland will conduct its most comprehensive marketing campaign ever this year.
"We cannot wait to roll out the green carpet and welcome back visitors from around the world," Gibbons said.
