Were the witnesses concerned at any time by the lack of clarity? Garden centres, at least from my reading of the initial restrictions introduced on 7 April, were allowed to open. There was a big debate as to whether they were but it seemed to me that the Government waited until it got an imprimatur from Woodies and then announced that people could go to garden centres but most of the small, family-owned garden centres in Clare, where I live, were open. Were the witnesses concerned with the lack of precision in some of the restrictions?
