Mary Lou McDonald urges 'clarity' from Taoiseach on Covid-19 restrictions

Politicians and people in a position of authority in Irish society need to lead by example regarding the observation of Covid-19 rules, according to Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald, responding to images of the Taoiseach meeting up with friends in the Phoenix Park in Dublin.

Yesterday, a spokesperson for the office of Leo Varadkar said he was in the park on Sunday with his partner and two friends, in line with public health guidance, and within a safe distance of State lodgings in the park.
