The Taoiseach Micheal Martin refused to confirm or deny whether a lockdown will take place before Christmas, but pressure is mounting for the government announce what’s in the back of their minds so that people can well prepare in time for what’s looking like a very inevitable outcome.
Martin said that he understands last week’s restrictions will have an impact on people employed in the nightlife economy but would not go any further in relation to a full lockdown before Christmas.
The Liberal revealed dates that we have been reliably informed of that are actively being discussed for possible more restrictions and a full lockdown. The below information was provided by two separate sources from within Leinster House.
It must be emphasised from the outset that this is not definite but we can assure you that two separate sources from Leinster House have told The Liberal that these dates are being discussed.
As covid cases continue to rise and with the likelihood of them going up even further, discussions are taking place in relation to further restrictions including closing pubs, nightclubs, restaurants and a full lockdown.
As it stands, we have been informed that the date that would see pubs, nightclubs and restaurants being closed is December 13th.
It’s understood that the economy will be allowed continue for another week with a full lockdown being discussed for December 20th.
It must be stated that dates cannot be taken as fact but we have been reliably informed by two separate sources from within Leinster House that they are being actively discussed.
