Meanwhile, a leader within the Government’s three-party coalition has argued for the reopening of various sectors of the country, following the current lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19.
Leader of the Green Party, Eamon Ryan, said he would like to see people returning to their workplace one a day a week.
The Transport and Environment Minister said he also backed the reopening of shops, gyms, golf courses, galleries and churches to support people’s mental health, insisting they were “safe” environments.
“What we need to do as we return now, is to promote the controlled environments,” he said.
“That includes the reopening of retail, I think retailers have done a controlled job so we can do that.
“I would also argue, the likes of a gallery or a gym or a golf course or a church, there are so many aspects in our daily life that are really important to us, which are safe.”
