A WhatsApp message being circulated in Munster claims that the pubs will be re-opened on a phased basis
The message claims that Minister Simon Coveney has met with vintners and that the pubs will be reopening on a phased basis
The message is beginning to gain traction so a spokesman for the Tanaiste says the message is fake news and the public health advice issued last Friday still stands
He's also reminded people that the best place to get reliable information if from the National Public Health Emergency Team and the established media not WhatsApp groups
