Covid-19 Safety Guidelines Squirrel's Scramble

Keeping Safe

In keeping with goverment and HSE guidelines, in conjuction with Failte Ireland we have put together our set of Covid-19 Safety guidelines so that you our customers and our staff, can continue to enjoy Squirrel's Scramble in complete safety.

Going forward into the future, it is not surprising that a number of changes have had to be made at Squirrel's Scramble. Some we will keep, but others will be eased off as and when it is appropriate and safe to do so.
