The lack of business experience around the cabinet table is a major contributing factor in the disastrous way the government has handled the indoor dining fiasco.
Those are the views of Leitrim Councillor and Publican, Felim Gurn.

The Independent Councillor says the government seems to be oblivious to the impact the latest delay will have on businesses owners and staff employed in the hospitality sector.
