Rural Independent Group Slams Government For 'Juvenile' Excuses For Not Imposing Travel Quarantine
It says 33,000 foreign travellers arrive into the country a week, which will 'inevitably' carry more Covid cases into Ireland.
The Group's leader, Deputy Mattie McGrath, says it makes a 'laughing stock' of the Irish public:
"We saw the tens of thousands of people who came here for Christmas, we saw the 20,000 people who came here since, we see the students coming to Limerick. And this has been the laughingstock of the people who are making huge sacrifices to try and comply with the regulations. And it's time the government got real and had proper meaningful checks and tests."
