Northern Ireland Covid lockdown ‘will devastate businesses’ Rory Carroll Ireland correspondent © Provided by The Guardian Photograph: David Young/PA Northern Ireland’s sweeping six-week lockdown will inflict significant job losses and a “tsunami” of bankruptcies, business leaders have warned. Representatives of retail, hospitality and other sectors accused the Stormont executive of mishandling the Covid-19 pandemic and said the restrictions, which start on Boxing Day, will devastate businesses and permanently damage high streets. However, many agreed the lockdown, which was announced on Thursday, was needed to curb soaring infection rates that have piled pressure on hospitals and the ambulance service. “It is profoundly disappointing that the NI executive had to take this course of action because of non-compliance of individuals and households with the Covid-19 regulations,” said Glyn Roberts, the chief executive of Retail NI.
