Clare’s Independent TD is calling for the government to adopt a regional approach to implementing COVID-19 restrictions.
Michael McNamara has told the Dáil that he feels the higher rates of COVID-19 in Dublin, when compared with the rest of the country, show that different approaches are needed in different areas.
Pubs and Nightclubs were due to reopen from Monday but due to a rise in cases across the country, that has now been moved back to August 10th.
Clare has had only two COVID cases since the beginning of the June, and Michael McNamara feels this needs to be recognised.
Clare’s Fianna Fáil Senator has joined the calls for a rethink of plans to curtail the opening of pubs.
Timmy Dooley says there has to be a better balance, so that people feel as though we’re making progress.
