Speaking on RTÉ Radio One’s Morning Ireland, Matt McGranaghan of the MEAI said that “we need to be responsible about a reopening plan and reopening strategy”. This week, 4,945 people who worked in arts, entertainment and recreation are receiving the Pandemic Unemployment Payment. “Up to 30% of workers in this industry who are on PUP will become unemployed and two months later, we’re anticipating a further 20%, so up to 50% of the workforce in this industry on PUP will be de facto unemployed in the next few months,” McGranaghan said.

Any chance this could be hurried along so bettermaternitycare might actually make it’s way up or even onto the list of Gov priorities? Been overtaken for officialgaa, hospitality, weddings etc 👌🏽

500 people in pods at Pearse Stadium shows how pathetic this situation is. The rest of Europe must find us hilarious.

We know this by now. Probably 2036 with 50% of capacity. Tony says we are not there yet An industry complaining about being discriminated against wants to open and promises they will also discriminate others if allowed open. How ironic
