There have been sighs of relief this afternoon as it appears govt is to reject NPHET's recommendation to move the country to Level 5.

Cabinet is to meet this evening (Monday) but reports are that the three party leaders are going to suggest moving the entire nation to Level 3 with greater enforcement of the restrictions.

However, the leak was criticised by many for causing stress and upset for both business owners and citizens alike.

Kieran was joined by Danny McCoy, CEO of IBEC, Paul Moynagh, Prof of Immunology at Maynooth University, and Alan Kelly, Leader of the Labour Party as they dissected the impact of the threat itself, and the first time govt looks set to decline a recommendation from NPHET.
