FIANNA FÁIL TD Noel Treacy is to step down at the next election, he has confirmed this morning. The Galway East deputy said that he had been given medical advice to stand down, though RTÉ reports he had already been nominated by the party’s constituency organisation to contest the next election. His retirement means that three of the four current TDs in the constituency are stepping down; Fine Gael’s Ulick Burke and Paul Connaughton have already decided to step down.
Nine things you need to know by 9am: Four in the running in the FF leadership, Aer Lingus staff stay grounded, and how young Gardaí are sleeping on floors.
ONE OF Fine Gael’s longest-serving TDs is to step down at the next election, it has been confirmed. Fine Gael’s Bernard Allen, a TD for Cork North Central, will not seek re-election this year, citing “personal reasons”. Allen has been a TD since 1981, and served as a junior minister with special responsibility for tourism and sport between 1994 and 1997. Allen is also a former chair of the Oireachtas Committee on European Affairs, and is currently the chair of the high-profile Public Accounts Committee.
However, the advice to wear face coverings on public transport and in other spaces where social distancing is difficult is guidance for now. It isn’t a strict rule.
Public health authorities have emphasised wearing a facemask is an “additional hygiene measure” with Dr Tony Holohan saying previously it’s not a “magic bullet” to protect against Covid-19.
Social distancing and good hand hygiene is still of vital importance even if you wear a mask, according to health officials.
However, as we progress through the Phases and more of us go back to work, we’re asking you: Will you wear a mask when you use public transport?
