Gorey senator backs move to level 2 in december

The Taoiseach is coming under pressure from his own party in Wexford and nationally to move to Level 2 Covid-19 restrictions for Christmas.

Micheál Martin has said the aim is to move to Level 3 when the current restrictions end in December. However, at a meeting of the Fianna Fail parliamentary party last night, there was a 'general consensus' to go further. Restaurants and bars can open with indoor dining at Level 2. Gorey senator Malcolm Byrne believes this should happen in December. [audio wav="https://www.southeastradio.ie/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/malcolm.wav"][/audio]
