An Taoiseach Mr Micheal Martin has rightly come out against anti-mask marches that have occurred over the last couple of months, during the COVID-19 pandemic in Dublin city. Mr Martin has stated that the Government’s actions on these marches must successfully undermine some of the dangerous messages observed at these demonstrations, such as the denial of the dangers of COVID-19. He further stated that the state has to make sure that public health regulations are being fully adhered to in all circumstances, particularly in terms of these public protest marches.
Meanwhile, Ms Liz Canavan, (Assistant Secretary General at the Department of the Taoiseach) has warned that counties Wicklow, Waterford, Louth, Limerick, Kildare, Donegal and Offaly are now showing concerning increases of virus cases and she has urged the public to double their efforts in an effort to halt future spread of the killer virus.
