Taoiseach Micheál Martin addressed the nation this evening to update us on the Covid-19 restrictions. But, what reaction has he gotten?

We heard from Kieran Christie ASTI General Secretary about how possible changes to the vaccine roll out might impact teachers.

Tom Parlon, Director General of CIF, Ronan Lynch, owner of The Swan Bar and former chairman Licensed Vintners Association and Neil McDonnell, CEO of ISME all told us what they think too. As well as that, we heard from Tanya Ward, CEO of Children’s Rights Alliance.

Mary Lou McDonald, President of Sinn Féin and TD for Dublin Central also joined us to give her reaction.
