Reconsider the COVID-19 regulations being implemented in Northern Ireland.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to allow the retail and hospitality sector to re-open or remain open in Northern Ireland. The latest restrictions being implemented will destroy many small businesses in Northern Ireland. I want the government to allow the people to vote on these restriction issues.

I would like the government to investigate the NI assembly and assess how they are handling the COVID-19 pandemic and answer is it truly in the best interest of the people in Northern Ireland. A solution would be to put it to a public as to whether the public truly want the strict restrictions that are being put into place on November 27th. I would like there to be more of a compromise in response, which may help reduce the detrimental damage being done to the retail and hospitality sector.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Covid-19 restrictions in Northern Ireland are a matter for the Northern Ireland Assembly and Northern Ireland Executive, not the UK Government or House of Commons.

If you want to raise this issue you could contact your MLA, or raise it with the relevant Northern Ireland government department.
