Irish premier Micheal Martin announced to recall parliament following a scandal over politicians violating COVID-19 rules.
The news came after two days of political turmoil following news reports that several lawmakers and politicians attended a parliamentary golf society dinner violating the COVID-19 guidelines.
As per local media reports, more than 80 high profile figures — including a cabinet minister and a Supreme Court judge — attended the Golf Society dinner on Wednesday night.
The parliamentary golf society dinner took place just 24 hours after the government announced fresh COVID-19 restrictions to curb the deadly contagion, including no formal or informal events or parties to be held at hotels or restaurants.
