A Fianna Fáil senator has warned that the Government needs to consider more carefully the social and economic impact of restrictions.

Senator Chambers added that her mother works in ICU, so she understands the risk associated with the virus. However, she also believes that people will continue to meet up regardless of pub opening hours:

“People are going to socialise anyway, Gavan. I believe they’re already doing it and your texter there spoke about four children in their twenties that are already socialising. So people are doing it.”“I know they [NPHET] have a job to do and the point I made on the [Leinster House] plinth was that we know we have to have some restrictions in place and we accept that we’re in a very difficult position and that we have to protect our health service.

“And I just think, particularly in rural communities where I live, the local pub isn’t just about going for a drink. For a lot of people it’s where they go to meet people, to socialise - people who could be living alone - so there are other things the Government has to take into account.” Main Image: A sign indicates a pub has closed to stop the spread of COVID-19.

If we keep hospitality open and limit the hospitals to vaccinated only would that appease the Senator ?

Reminder, that two weeks after saying this, she voted for vaccine passports.
