Cinemas provide a vital service in Kerry.
That's the view of Mark Anderson, Director of the Omniplex Cinema Group, who has written to the Taoiseach seeking clarification on the reopening of cinemas.
Omniplex has 18 cinemas in the Republic, including one in Tralee, while its 15 cinemas in Northern Ireland were allowed to reopen yesterday.
Mark Anderson is calling for certainty ahead of the government's announcement this Friday, which will outline what restrictions will be eased over the course of June and July.
Mark Anderson says cinemas are vital in every county, as they can be the heartbeat of local communities.
