I welcome the reopening of schools for students with additional needs. I know the living with Covid plan is coming. It was reported in the newspapers today that we could be going into another five or six-week lockdown. I have been approached by small businesses in Carlow that are finding it difficult as they are unable to trade online. The food sector is operating a click-and-collect system. Could the Government consider extending it to small retail businesses? I understand we must be 100% compliant with Covid restrictions, but it is important.
