The services referred to by the Deputy are not matters within the responsibility of the Minister for Health. The responsibility for providing guidance in relation to a particular sector of the economy or on a specific activity remains with the Government Department with responsibility for that sector or activity. Local authority services are a matter for the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government.
However, the Deputy may wish to note that it remains the Government's policy under the Roadmap that people should not undertake non-essential travel outside of the restrictions as set out under each phase.
