There is proposed legislation to introduce fines for breaches of restrictions the Government has put in place to deal with Covid-19, when in effect the biggest contributing factor is the Government's inability to set up an effective contact tracing model. In the face of assurances in May from the then Taoiseach and now Tánaiste, it was stated that the method of living with Covid would be to isolate, test, trace and treat. What is the plan for six weeks' time to ensure we can live with Covid-19? What legislation does the Government intend to bring forward to underpin that plan, and at what stage will the plan be laid before the House?
