There are calls for public toilets to be provided in Dublin city centre as the coronavirus restrictions are eased.

Smaller shops are due to be allowed reopen from June 8th, at the same time the travel limit will be extended to 20 kilometres.

However, restaurants and cafés aren't due to resume sit-down services until the end of June, prompting concerns over toilet facilities

Richard Hanlon, co-owner of Busyfeet and Coco café on South William Street, is warning people will be put off coming into town because of the lack of bathrooms.

He wants to install two portaloos in the city centre to highlight the issue and urge the council to take action.

"When we unlock on June 8th we have until June 28th... we have a 20-day period where there will be no public toilets available, and yet a mass amount of people in the city centre."

He's started a petition and fundraising campaign.
