Retail NI's CEO Glyn Roberts has commented on this evenings statement From Minister Swann
He said
"The lifting of the Covid 19 restrictions is fantastic news for our members and the wider business community. We can now reopen our economy and accelerate the recovery of our High Streets.”
“However, we are disappointed that the statement does not include a clear commitment to return to the workplace. Safely reopening offices and workplaces is not only vital to boost footfall for our high streets, but also for our economy and returning our society to normal”
“Northern Ireland needs to catch up with other parts of the UK with its return-to-workplace message.”
“Retail NI want to see the Executive establish a working group to produce a clear and co-ordinated plan for the safe and timely return of public and private sector staff to their offices and workplaces.”
