View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 268 and 272 together.
From May 10th, with the resumption of inter-county travel, owners of stationary mobile homes or caravans located in mobile home and caravan parks (and the households of such owners) are permitted to travel to their own stationary mobile homes or caravans. Also from May 10th, mobile home and caravan parks may open to facilitate such owners (and the households of such owners) accessing their stationary mobile homes or caravans. However, no shared facilities (e.g. toilet or shower blocks) should be opened and no tourism activities (e.g. rental of mobile homes or pitches) are permitted. Rental of accommodation services remains prohibited until June 2nd, subject to the public health situation at that time.
