Acting Chief Medical Officer Dr Ronan Glynn has said there is “nothing magic” about evidence showing that pubs could worsen the spread of Covid-19, after a Government TD called for it to be published.

Fianna Fáil Dublin South West TD John Lahart called for the advice cited in a letter to health minister Stephen Donnelly by the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) to be made public.
