Dr Denis McCauley, Chair of the GP Committee of the Irish Medical Organisation has been reacting to comments by Chief Medical Officer, Dr Tony Holohan who said non-compliance with public health regulations is resulting in the virus circulating at dangerously high levels in Donegal.

He says there is clear evidence that high levels of Covid-19 in the Derry and Strabane District has an impact on the level of the virus in Donegal:
