Covid restrictions: Arlene Foster talks to Good Morning Ulster

Good Morning Ulster

Available for over a year

Tomorrow night at midnight the current COVID restrictions that stop hairdressers, pubs, restaurants and other businesses from opening are due to run out. And it's up to the Executive what happens next. But as things stand we are in the middle of another Stormont stalemate. The Health Minister Robin Swann wanted to extend restrictions for another two weeks. But that was blocked by the DUP and the party has been pushing other proposals to allow a partial reopening. The tweets sent out after the meeting told the story of how deadlocked the parties have become. The DUP's Agriculture minister Edwin Poots attacked the attempt to make four weeks restrictions into six... And blamed Sinn Fein. While the Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill stated that it was important to follow the medical advice. The Executive ministers are due to meet again at 12.30 today. But is a deal possible? The First Minister Arlene Foster spoke to Chris and Sarah on Good Morning Ulster.
