Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I am not clear as to why the cafe has to close for six months, to be frank. I will pursue that with security and so on. I will do that.
On the hospitality sector more generally, thousands of people work in the hospitality sector. A lot of young people and students work in the sector and so on. It is a cynical Opposition play to talk about McDonald's. They are all owned by franchisees. The Deputy knows that.
