Speaking at a media briefing in Washington D.C., the Taoiseach said that due to the global coronavirus crisis, this measure is now necessary.

Indoor gatherings of more than 100 people and outdoor mass gatherings of more than 500 people should be cancelledPeople can continue to go to work but where possible, work from home. He went on to say that the cabinet will meet later today and that “extensive but not unlimited resources” will be deployed. He also praised the health service for their work at the forefront of this crisis.“I know some of this is coming as a real shock and it’s going to involve big changes in the way we live our lives and I know that I’m asking people to make enormous sacrifices but we’re doing it for each other. Together, we can slow the virus in its tracks and push it back”.

“Pandemic is not a word to use lightly or carelessly. It is a word that, if misused, can cause unreasonable fear, or unjustified acceptance that the fight is over, leading to unnecessary suffering and death”.
