There was an extra pep in the step of those taking part in 'Zumba with Louise' class in Mount Merrion in Dublin this morning, with the news that from 20 September, they will be allowed to return indoors.
It is good timing, just before the colder weather sets in. Pupils and teacher are thrilled. "I'm delighted," says instructor Louise Heatherwick. "We did it outside all through winter last year.
We were down here with hats, gloves, scarves and thermals on. "But now we're all delighted to be able to go back inside." For her, the move indoors means there will now be certainty that her classes will be able to go on and not be postponed at the last minute due to the weather.
