Sinn Fein’s Cathy Bennett has clarified she’s staying at her Donegal residence as she quarantines after a foreign holiday.
The Monaghan MD Councillor previously confirmed that her family are adhering to public health guidelines since returning from Lanzarote on August 9th, that the holiday was paid for last year and it wasn’t possible for them to secure a refund from the airline.
The island destination isn’t on the Government green-list meaning a 14 day period of restricted movement is required upon arrival back in Ireland.
The move has been criticised as people are currently being advised to only travel internationally for essential reasons.
In a follow-up statement to Shannonside Northern Sound to clarify her movements since returning to Ireland, Councillor Bennett said she is spending the isolation period at her Donegal house, where she walks Rossnowlagh Beach on a daily basis.
She concluded by saying she’s explained the situation and does “not wish to comment anymore on the matter”.
