Opposition parties have been continuing to raise concerns over to fine people for breaching public health guidelines related to Covid 19.

Brid Smith is People Before Profit TD for Dublin South Central, and Declan Power is a security analyst.  They joined Kieran on Friday's edition of The Hard Shoulder to debate the fairness of the enforcement measures.
