A Kerry TD has branded the new restrictions as clumsy, disproportionate and lacking in nuance.
Sinn Féin Deputy Pa Daly says these restrictions target outdoor sports and the over 70s, and he questions if there's any evidence the recent upsurge is related to these groups.
He believes no reasonable explanation has been given for these new restrictions, adding there was no reference made to recent outbreaks in factories.

Deputy Daly says reducing the number of outdoor gatherings to 15 is ridiculous, adding it will disrupt matches and training at all levels.
The Sinn Féin TD believes this path is unlikely to lead the country out of the crisis.
