What Will The Easing Of Restrictions Mean For Gyms And Weddings?

Gyms are expected to be allowed to reopen on 7 June, with swimming pools also opening that month. No group classes will be allowed, but individual sessions in gyms will be permitted. Wedding services can be attended by 50 people, but only six will be permitted to attend the reception if it is indoors, and 15 if it is outdoors. The number for indoor receptions will increase to 25 people from June. To discuss this we were joined by Emmet Rushe, owner of Rushe Fitness in Letterkenny, and Sharon Griffin, owner of Frog Prince Weddings.
