A number of facilities, run by Kerry County Council, will close this evening in line with the Level 3 COVID-19 restrictions, which come into effect at midnight.
The council’s senior management team met this morning to discuss the impact these restrictions will have locally.
The council is appealing to the public to familiarise themselves with the Level 3 restrictions and to adhere to them, in a bid to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Kerry County Council’s public offices will remain open, but people are being asked to continue to communicate with the council by phone and email.
Communications manager with the council, Owen O’Shea explains what facilities will close this evening:
