This afternoon.
In the Dáil.
Tánaiste Simon Coveney answered a question from Rise TD Paul Murphy.
Mr Murphy asked him about the nature of his reported communications with Keeling’s before seasonal workers arrived in Ireland.
Mr Coveney said, after speaking about Brexit…
“In relation to the Keeling’s issue, which has nothing to do with Brexit. My office was contacted by Keeling’s, merely to ask whether or not the airports were going to close or not.
That was the nature of the conversation and we confirmed that they would not be closing.
And the advice was given to consult with the Department of Health to ensure that it was fully understood, that guidelines that were required in the context of essential workers being brought into the country.”
