What do you think is the best exit strategy for us coming out of Level 5 at the start of December?  

Obviously, there will be a lot of pressure in the run up to Christmas but what would be the best approach for retailers. 

Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has said that we could enter Level 2 after lockdown. 

Several TDs have mentioned other ideas such as retailers opening 2 weeks earlier than planned or have a tweaked level 3 while Penneys are hoping to open their stores 24hrs a day in run up to Christmas.  

Would you welcome relaxed restrictions in December? Are you a retailer? What do you think about 24hr service?
