Government could not ignore Nphet's scientific advice - Ryan 

The Government was now looking at safe mechanisms to allow a return to indoor hospitality facilities and they would sit down with the sector to work out a system, Eamon Ryan said.

The Minister for Transport has said that the Government could not have ignored the scientific advice presented to them by the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) on Monday night.

“We have a responsibility to listen to them,” Eamon Ryan told RTÉ radio’s Today with Claire Byrne show.
