Michael Martin announces shoe shops will finally be permitted to open, but only for children’s shoes, and by appointment ONLY




Taoiseach, Micheál Martin has announced shoe shops will be allowed to sell children’s footwear “by appointment only”.

This is just the latest twist that the Irish Community has has to bear during the longest lockdown in Europe.

Mr Martin said it “is an issue the Government is examining. We do take the point that there have been issues in terms of children’s shoes being an essential item in terms of growth and development of children and the need to provide for that, reports BreakingNews.

Martin stressed the relaxation of shoe shop purchases was “for children’s shoes only. It’s very specific to children, very specific to the needs of children and development of children” and the guidelines will be published shortly.
