With Level 5 restrictions expected to be lifted at the beginning of December, what will Christmas look like?

NPHET has warned that an easing of measures at this time risks a surge of COVID-19 in spring, and that strict limits will be needed on Christmas get-togethers. Meanwhile the government has said the situation will be kept under review.

Dr Jack Lambert, Professor of Medicine and Infectious Diseases at the Mater and UCD School of Medicine, Elaina Fitzgerald Kane, president of the Irish Hotels Federation, Patricia Callan, CEO of Drinks Ireland, and Duncan Graham, Managing Director of Retail Excellence Ireland, joined us to discuss this.
