Human rights groups urge transparency on Covid-19 restrictions data

Detailed data on those impacted by Covid-19, including those charged or detained under emergency powers, must be collected and published to ensure the State is meeting its human rights obligations.

That’s according to a number of organisations representing communities particularly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic which have written to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar appealing for a human rights impact assessment to be carried out by May 5.
