The Hard Shoulder Highlights

Is there a case to be made for going to Level 2 for Christmas?

Taoiseach Micheál Martin seems to be coming under pressure to move the country into Level 2 restrictions for Christmas. He told the Dáil that his target is to move to Level 3 Covid-19 regulations after the lockdown.  However, he then faced calls from his own party members to ease restrictions even further for Christmas. Joining Kieran on Thursday's edition of The Hard Shoulder were conomist and commentator Dan O’Brien, and Independent TD for Clare, who was also the Chair of the Oireachtas Covid Committee, Michael McNamara.
