The Northern Ireland Health Minister has warned that lifting Covid-19 restrictions is a gamble and a risk, and won’t be enough to drive down the number of infections.

On Thursday Ministers agreed to a one week extension of the current lockdown restrictions which are in place - followed by a phased reopening of the hospitality sector.

Former Deputy First Minister and SDLP Leader, Mark Durkan, joined Susan to talk about whether this is the right approach and discuss the renewed talk of a United Ireland approach to tackling Covid-19.
