Local TD criticises leaking of potential Covid restrictions

A local TD has criticised the leaking of details on NPHETs recommendation to the Government on potential new Covid restrictions.

Longford/Westmeath Fianna Fail TD Joe Flaherty says the leaks cause significant upset to those in the sector who are left in limbo until an official decision is announced.

Speaking to the Joe Finnegan Show today, the Fianna Fail deputy says the leaked proposals will mean an effective shutdown for the industry.

Deputy Flaherty says the hospitality sector has bent over backwards to keep people safe.
