Covid-19 (Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-04-30
============================================================

Peter Fitzpatrick (IND), Louth

I have spoken to many business owners in Dundalk and surrounding areas. While the vast majority fully support the Government in its approach to date, they are worried about the long-term effects. One of the main concerns relates to the support and assistance that will be given to businesses to implement social distancing measures for customers and employees once they reopen. The support should not only be financial, it should also be advisory in nature and indicate how to implement strong social distancing measures in the workplace. Has the Minister any views on this?
