Social Democrats co-leader Róisín Shortall has called on the Taoiseach to “pick up the phone and call the other party leaders” so there could be a cross-party response to Covid-19.

Ms Shortall also said the Tánaiste needed to apologise to the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan as he was being “very irresponsible” and “playing a dangerous political game.”
