The county's guest accommodation has re-opened its doors today.
A Kildare hotelier says formally re-opening today has been an expensive process
Dublin is the region benefiting the least from the reopening of hospitality.
Figures from the Irish Hotels Federation show that just 11 per cent of hotel rooms in the capital are booked for July, compared to 45 per cent in the West.
