Chamber calls for 'immediate' lifting of Kildare restrictions
Chamber CEO Alan Shine says the number of positive cases in the county over the past days demonstrates that citizens and businesses in Kildare 'have done their job'.
"We have suppressed the virus to a level that requires the lifting of restrictions," he said in a statement yesterday. "Whilst we continue to state that public health is our number one priority, the economy must come a very close second.
"The restrictions imposed on Kildare are having a devastating impact on the local economy, with many businesses in the hospitality/tourism sector fearful they may not be able to survive the forthcoming weeks and months."
He said that the country must learn how to live with this virus, and how to allow businesses open until a vaccine is found and called on NPHET and the Government to lift the restrictions with immediate effect and 'allow Kildare be re aligned with the rest of the country'.
