PDFORRA president says masks can give 'false sense of security'
Naas nurse says masks can make people feel dizzy
PDFORRA President, Mark Keane, representing the military staff, says that medical experts have told him that masks are not the most ideal form of protecting oneself from the coronavirus, or indeed, protecting others.
He said: "Hygiene is a big thing, masks give a false sense of security."
Naas Intensive Care nurse, Hannah Clancy, and mother of four young children, has reservations about masks being mandatory for the public, indoors, and says they would be 'pointless' for children.
She says that after wearing masks for a few hours, she finds herself sneezing a lot, and gets a foggy head.
Fianna Fáil Cllr Bernard Caldwell says he is not in favour of making masks mandatory in public, and says that nothing can beat good hygiene and that since the Covid 19 pandemic, he has been drinking lots of water, and finds that is helping.
He said: "I haven't put a mask on and I am still alive."
