Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said that today is "a day of freedom" as society partially reopens and people can travel freely across the country.
He said "this can't go onto forever" and while Government support will be phased out over time, any changes will be graduated and distinguish between those suffering the most. Mr Varadkar said that decisions around what commercial rates will apply for the third quarter and tax warehousing are being examined.
Mr Varadkar said that the Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise Robert Troy is looking at how to introduce a new examinership process.He said: "Retail was changing anyway, it was going online..and the pandemic has accelerated that." The Government supports the wider use of antigen testing as 'an additional health and safety measure', Tánaiste @LeoVaradkar has said.
Mr Varadkar added "it means nothing" if someone uses a store-bought test and the result is negative and said it certainly does not mean "visit your relatives and it's all fine".
