School car park on Tuesdays between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m.

You can also leave books for donation and all hygiene and social distancing measures will be in place.

. The committee hope that all members are keeping well and following the HSE guidelines.

Members should ideally self-isolate as much as possible, order food online or by phone and have it delivered, however plan ahead as there are long delivery times in most supermarkets.

If you are under 70 and have no underlying conditions and are going out within your five kilometre radius, take hand sanitizer with you and use regularly.

Keep distance from others and pay by card if possible to avoid handling money.

Gorey Active Retirement welcomes the latest lifting of restrictions as it brings back some normality, and would encourage older people who are going out for walks to walk in areas that are less frequented with people.

All at Gorey Active Retirement hope that the end will not be too much longer, and ask that you continue what you are doing and you will be safe.
