Call on Mayo County Council to open up public toilets

A TD has called on Mayo County Council and all local authorities to open up public toilet facilities.

Now that lockdown has been lifted to movement within counties, it is vital that public facilities in towns and at amenities are opened, stated Deputy Michael Ring.

He elaborated: “I wish to compliment the service stations around the country who opened up their facilities and made them available.

"I want to compliment them as they are were frontline workers as well and I want to thank them for keeping their facilities open.

“The government did not show any leadership on this matter by closing down public toilets.

"To me, this was wrong.

"I am calling on all local authorities to immediately open up all public toilets.

"It is terrible for people who are travelling in the county, yet there are no public toilets available.

"As we are being advised that being outdoors is safer, public toilets should never have been closed as they are essential. The toilets should be opened and left open.”
