Mary Lou McDonald: 'Coronavirus does not give a damn for the border'

Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has said it is “just baffling” that there isn’t an all-island approach to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Ms McDonald told Newstalk’s Pat Kenny show that the virus does not respect borders. “Managing this crisis is not actually a political thing in the first instance – this is biological, this is about public health, it is about keeping people well,” she said.
