Ryanair: NPHET keeping Ireland 'locked up like North Korea'

Ryanair: 'Irish aviation and tourism cannot delay another week or month while Micheál Martin dithers and delays or while NPHET mismanages Ireland’s test and tracing system.'

Ryanair also called for the 'Green List' of countries which have been deemed to be safe for people to travel to, to be published immediately. File Picture/PA

Ryanair says that the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) is keeping Ireland "locked up like North Korea."

The airline, which has long been critical of the government's policies, today accused the Taoiseach and the government of creating "more delay and indecision" with the announcement of today's new living with Covid-19 plan.
