Varadkar: Government discussing issues raised by Covid-19 with employers and unions

"This is going to be complicated because there are individual circumstances, individual businesses and individual contracts where things are different."

Leo Varadkar has moved to comfort those who may lose out on wages due to the temporary shut down prompted by the Covid-19 coronavirus.

The Taoiseach, speaking in Washington, said his government would continue to sit down with union representatives in order to tackle the issues.
