Covid-19 (Health): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-14
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

I will quickly ask a separate question. Has the Minister considered the request by the Irish Council for Civil Liberties not to expand the Garda powers beyond 18 May? Rather than using these restrictions on civil liberties, the Garda should rely on the things that have an overwhelming impact, such as education, persuasion, etc.
