Government Criticised For Failing To Assess Impact Of Lockdowns On Business

An economist says the lockdowns may well have caused lasting damage on the Irish economy.

Jim Power says the state failed to carry out a proper risk assessment of current pandemic restrictions.
His report shows Ireland tops the Reuters league table of rolling lockdowns at 163 days, compared to 131 in second-placed Italy.
It's 113 days since the current set of Level 5 restrictions were put in place.
Jim Power says the Government's plan has damaged the economy and small firms may never reopen
