RTE Claire Byrne Live viewers were left confused after Fair City's George McMahon appeared on Monday night's show to give his opinion on the government's decision to remove the requirement of mask-wearing.
The star who plays Mondo on the Irish soap said he would have liked the rule to remain a little while longer as he has become accustomed to wearing a mask and has become more aware of the germs that surround him.
He also joked that the masks have allowed him to go about his day to day tasks, such as running to the grocery shop without being stopped by women in the vegetable aisle to discuss what would be happening next in Fair City.
