Leo Varadkar has confirmed that face masks will not be made mandatory again as they ‘won’t make a huge difference’.
The Tanaiste appeared on RTE Prime Time on Thursday night and said that mandating face masks would only make a small difference as people will not be wearing them in settings where they are most likely to catch Covid, such as at home.
He also said that it was "no longer appropriate" for Government to enforce a rule on wearing masks in certain settings as we are no longer in a public health emergency.
