Covid-19 Pandemic
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-19
============================================================

Jack Chambers (FF), Dublin West

I accept and take the point. We want to be constructive about this. The longer that restrictions go on, particularly in levels 3 and 4 - I accept the Deputy's point - it limits important cultural activities and indoor sporting activities. There is engagement between the Department and the groups and associations the Deputy mentioned to try to be helpful in that regard. Nevertheless, the current position is as I have set out. We are engaging to try to ensure we will get the balance right and we are trying to be constructive in that regard. I hope the Deputy recognises that.
