Direction needed on essential businesses – Archibald

Caoimhe Archibald has said businesses need direction on who can remain open and who must close in order to protect workers from COVID-19. 

Caoimhe Archibald said: 

“The issue of which businesses are classed as an essential service that can remain open and which businesses must close in order to protect staff and the wider public should already have been set out clearly. 

“This information gap now needs to be addressed urgently. 

“Businesses are already struggling as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and this uncertainty and delay is only making that worse. 

“The Executive established a forum under the Economy Department to look at this several weeks ago and it is now time businesses were given the direction they need.”

Increasing Road Tolls while households are still battling to make ends meet during a cost of living crisis is wrong.They shouldn't go ahead.
Tolls disproportionately impact those living in rural areas who are forced to use a private car as public transport options just dont exist

All workers should receive a fair wage & have their rights protected. 

Too many workers right across our society are underpaid & undervalued, & are struggling with the rising cost of living.

We must work together to help put more money into the pockets of workers & families.

I wrote to @chhcalling last week emphasising the gravity of the political situation & need for urgent action.

Sinn Féin will now attend the political roundtable on Monday. 

We stand ready to engage on finances, which should conclude promptly, with the Executive immediately…
