IKEA set to reopen stores in Dublin next week

IKEA is set to reopen its Dublin stores on Monday once the first phase of the easing of lockdown restrictions is approved.

The Swedish furniture giant, which has outlets in Ballymun and Carrickmines, will be taking a number of measures to protect staff and customers.

These include the limiting of numbers of customers in store, cashless payment and only allowing people in maximum groups of two.

Plexiglass will be installed at checkouts, service points and planning areas, RTE reports.

Social distance wardens in both stores will ensure that measures are being adhered to.

IKEA closed its doors in Ballymun and the collection centre in Carrickmines on March 20 as a precautionary measure.

The Swedish retailer had previously shut its restaurants, cafes and playground areas.

Stores across the UK also temporarily shut.

The first phase of the Governments plan to ease lockdown restrictions is due to commence on Monday, May 18 with many retailers set to reopen.

Fast food chain McDonald's will also reopen six Dublin Drive-Thru outlets next week.

It is not yet known which outlets will open but a number of measures will be introduced in the restaurants to ensure health and safety.
