Minister for Education Ms Norma Foley has stated that if a pregnant woman decides, in consultation with her doctor, or if her consultant recommends that it is not appropriate to return to work, then pregnancy-related leave remains in place.
The Minister for Health Mr Stephen Donnelly has said that the expected reopening roadmap will consider lifting only some current restrictions in the coming weeks, with others likely to be delayed until after the expected Covid-peak in four to six week’s time.
Same action by Minister Donnelly is seen by the vast majority of Tipperary people as the most appropriate action at this time, as case numbers continue to increase.
