Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has told his party there will be no major easing of restrictions until May and warned them to stay on message when publicly discussing Covid-19 rules. In an email to his parliamentary party, Mr Varadkar said there is “no reason” to be “off message” after receiving a backlash over government communications. The Tánaiste also outlined seven key steps the Government are taking over the coming months as part of their Covid-19 plan. However, he insisted there will be no major lifting of restrictions until May, apart from easing rules around the 5km travel ban, construction, outdoor activities and click and collect services. “No further easing of restrictions will be considered until the end of April or early May,” he added.
