Simon Harris says everything cannot go ‘back to normal’ after Easter Sunday and he is worried about the nation's mental health amid Covid19 restrictions

Health Minister Simon Harris Image: PA Images Health Minister Simon Harris Image: PA Images HEALTH MINISTER SIMON Harris has said restrictions put on people to tackle the Covid-19 outbreak cannot stay in place for very long and he is concerned about the nation’s mental health.

“Will the measure be extended beyond Easter Sunday? I’ve got to be truthful, I don’t know. I think these measures are so restrictive and significant that you cannot leave them in place for a very long time. People in Ireland are really pulled together at the moment but there is something I am worried about beyond the coronavirus and that is people’s mental health. It is not normal what we are asking people to do. “All of us miss friends, family and we like meeting up and the odd hug, going to the pub and having a pint and meeting your friends.

“I don’t want to over-egg it but we have seen some annoying behaviour where gardaí have been spat at on the street and this stupid thing called the corona challenge where people go and cough in people’s faces. CEO of Nursing Homes Ireland Tadhg Daly told RTÉ radio: “We’re somewhat concerned the HSE is still recruiting people from our sector and one of our asks of the minister today will be to desist recruiting people who are already working on the frontline.

Look at the numbers! Open schools, open workplaces, keep churches closed, keep old people at home, do not kill the economy!

Useless failed rejected. He is not the minister he was voted kicked out.

Anybody 8n there right mind knows this thing will be still here come next autumn

Tell him to worry about acquiring testing kits and serum antibody crests instead so we know who’s immune. They can go back to normal.

Normal? Abortion, loss of faith, homelessness, 57 genders, mass immigration, bogus government, Panti Bliss etc etc! We're nowhere near 'normal' irrelevant of this bloody virus!! 😂😂😂 livefromthecircus 🤡

If this passes everything should go back to normal and all emergency measures rolled back

'I’ve got to be truthful' suggests he's not always truthful?
