Labour demands Dáil return amid 'confusion' on new Covid-19 restrictions

Leader of the Labour Party Alan Kelly TD speaking to the media calling on a recall of the Dail to discuss the latest in Covid-19 restrictions. 

The Dáil must be recalled "immediately" to address the "absolute confusion" around the latest round of Covid-19 restrictions, the Labour Party leader has said.

Deputy Alan Kelly said that clarity was needed on proposed new powers for gardaí announced by Taoiseach Micheál Martin last night. Such new powers would require legislation but the Dáil is not due to return until September 15 and the restrictions expire two days previously.
