Are we ready to reopen pubs?

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said it’s time to reopen the pubs and that other countries are living with Covid-19 better than us.  Minister for Justice Helen McEntee on The Hard Shoulder told Kieran about the new legislation for pubs and restaurants that breach Covid-19 restrictions. She said this will pave the way to reopen the wet pubs.  Kieran Cuddihy was joined John McGuinness, Fianna Fáil TD for Carlow–Kilkenny to discuss this.
