Clare’s Sinn Fein TD believes the possibility of placing the county on lower levels of COVID-19 restrictions than others in December should be examined.

The incidence rate of the virus here per 100,000 now stands at 80.0 after less than 5 new cases were confirmed here last night – its lowest for a number of months, with only 8 counties now having a lesser incidence rate of the disease.

Other areas such as Limerick, Louth and Donegal have a rate at more than double that of Clare, though it’s believed any government decision on Christmas restrictions will be the same for all counties.
