Speaking of an incident that took place in Killarney over the weekend, acting CMO Ronan Glynn said: “The anger and frustration is understandable… I understand why it grabs the headlines, but none of those things should detract from the reality that the vast, vast majority of people are doing the right thing”
In response to Michael Healy-Rae saying the situation would have been avoided if pubs were open, Glynn said: “I’m not sure that a situation like Killarney could be avoided by having pubs open.”
Earlier on Monday evening, the government confirmed that Kildare’s lockdown restrictions would be lifted with immediate effect.
It said: “There is no longer a rationale for a differentiated approach between Kildare and the rest of the country.”
