As tourism and hospitality businesses across Ireland begin to reopen it’s time to draw a literal line in the sand on the last number of months. Fáilte Ireland has released aerial photography of a bespoke piece of sand artwork commissioned as part of their ‘Keep Discovering’ campaign. The piece, over 120ft in length, is an illustration of the many hidden gems there are to uncover in Ireland and the joy of discovering them. The unique piece, by environmental artist Sean Corcoran, was created by hand on Kilmurrin Cove in Co. Waterford. Fáilte Ireland’s ‘Keep Discovering’ campaign aims to drive domestic holidays and help to reboot and rebuild Ireland’s tourism industry. Picture aerial.ie via Andres Poveda Photography
Every evening at 6 O Clock WLR brings you the 6 biggest stories of the day
1. Two significant possible changes in vaccine rollout
Two significant changes could be on way in the vaccine rollout. The HSE is considering reducing the weeks between doses of the AstraZeneca jab from 12 to 8, while a large number of people under the age of 50 may only need one dose of a jab.
2. Waterford publican calls for earlier indoor opening
A Waterford city publican has claimed that banning pubs re-opening for indoors until July is petty and vindictive – and doesn’t respect the professionalism of publicans. Martin Colbert of Norris’ Bar off Barrack Street, said the perception is pubs could become crowded and dangerous but he believes indoor drinking would be in a safe and controlled manner by professionals.
