Covid 19: Implications of a Zero-Covid Island Policy
Matt Shanahan (Waterford, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I thank Professor Staines. I will ask Mr. O'Brien a question. He highlighted a pretty grim economic picture. Assuming that we continue on the path we are on - and that most European countries will probably do likewise - whereby we are trying to mitigate the disease, trace and put temporary lockdowns in place, what does he think is the path to the ECB unwinding support to European countries and in what timeframe? Where would Ireland be in the pecking order in terms of that support being removed?
