Ryan Tubridy 'confused' and 'fed up' as he opens radio show with strong message

RTE host Ryan Tubridy says he is "confused" and "fed up" by the Government's messaging over Dublin's pending restrictions.

The Late Late Show host opened his RTE Radio One show addressing the impending restrictions which he said even he is not clear over.

The star described reports that pubs and restaurants will close as "peculiar" given the safe environment they have created.

He opened his show saying: "I myself am a bit confused. I thought pubs and restaurants were not really a problem when it comes to spreading the virus and that actually it was people in their houses that were doing the damage.

"And now it looks like they are - well we don't know yet as they haven't agreed on it - but it does suggest they keep dropping these really heavy hints all week long about Dublin's on a knife edge, Dublin might close.

"I'm not sure, it seems like they are going to close the restaurants maybe, Dublin restaurants.

"Is that going to drive more people into other people's houses? I find it very peculiar.

"Nobody has clarified it for me, maybe they will tonight on The Late Late Show because we are going to look at it in a very...do you know, I'm very fed up with the incoherent messaging.

"So we are going to try fix that at the start of the show tonight. If not for you but for me at a selfish level.

"And we will do as we have done as a nation which is the right thing and try hang in there."

The Late Late Show returns again at 9:35pm tonight if you wish to tune in and see what Ryan is talking about.

In terms of the restrictions, the Cabinet is meeting this morning and will reveal later what is happening to Dublin.
