============================================================

Gino Kenny (PBP), Dublin Mid-West

Many artists, singers, poets and so on have lost their livelihoods over a short period and the future for them is uncertain. Would the State support the idea of having gatherings in public spaces where physical distancing is adhered to? There could be performances by poets and singers and so on in spaces such as the Phoenix Park on a small scale that adhere to physical distancing as instructed by the authorities.
