Image: Alan Hughes THE PANTOMIME INDUSTRY is calling for clarity on new public health advice relating to children’s activities as shows get ready to open for the festive period.
Speaking to The Journal, pantomime producer Alan Hughes said he was “in total shock” when he heard about the new public health advice. Cabinet was not due to make a decision on advice from NPHET until Tuesday but discussions about the new advice are taking place today. Hughes said he and his partner Karl Broderick have spent €300,000 on the show this year and he said it would be “a disaster” if further restrictions were placed on the industry in the run up to Christmas.
Oh no it isn't 🤡
