A young Granard man who had hoped to be opening his own business in Longford town today says he's still optimistic he'll be operating later this year.
Conor Neilon had hoped to open his own barber services at the former Grafters Academy on Graton Court this morning.
He's been working and studying at hairdressing over the past several years and everything was ready to go today with his new venture until Level 5 restrictions were announced.
Conor says he's really disappointed by the delay but is looking forward to when he finally can open, hopefully in early December.
