Govt concerned about businesses using 'loopholes' to reopen earlier

Liz Canavan

Gardaí say people are complying with the Covid-19 restrictions since measures were eased, but authorities are also appealing to the public not to breach the guidelines on reopening the country.

Department of Taoiseach assistant secretary general Liz Canavan said the public could "not fully relax" as the country was only in phase one of the roadmap to exit lockdown.
