Representatives of the retail sector expressed âbewildermentâ that non-essential stores are once again being forced to shut their doors despite an absence of evidence they are contributing in a significant way to the spread of coronavirus, as the Government moved the State to full Level 5 restrictions until February.
âIt wasnât much longer than 48 hours ago that the Taoiseach was saying he did not believe non-essential was a hive of Covid-19 transmissions and he said he did not think closing it down would have a material effect on infection rates,â said Duncan Graham, chief executive of Retail Excellence, which has more than 2,000 members nationwide.
