Ceisteanna – Questions: Departmental Advertising (6 Oct 2020)

Alan Kelly: The Taoiseach ran out of time earlier but he might inform the House why he bottled the announcement of 21 December as a bank holiday. Last night, we were led to believe this might happen.

Alan Kelly: As an aside, will the Taoiseach ask the Minister for Health or somebody, perhaps through NPHET, to sort out the issue arising over masks and visors?
