Wexford’s hotels and attractions prepare for easing of Ireland’s Covid lockdown

The shuttering is almost at an end, but as hotels reopen on 2 June, how will the county cope with domestic-only tourism?

Ireland has endured one of Europe’s longest lockdowns, so its hotels have been busy blowing away cobwebs, training staff and restocking the kitchen as they prepare to reopen today.

As with other Irish hotels, the Ferrycarrig on its south-eastern tip is hoping this landmark day will signal the beginning of a rebirth of a devastated tourism industry.
