Paul Murphy, a left-wing MP from the People for Profit party, has launched a procedure to ensure that the right to clean air is guaranteed by labor law.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced the authorities of many countries to deal with air quality. It has happened in Ireland as well, and is part of the fight against the pandemic in schools and workplaces.

"Unfortunately, the Irish government, like the governments of many other countries, is not doing enough on the issue of indoor air quality. "There is no insistence on having ventilation, having monitors that will show the amount of carbon dioxide, having air filtration systems," Murphy said.

He believes that this can be changed if a law is adopted that will make everything from the above mandatory. According to him, unlike European countries, some Asian countries did not ignore this problem at the height of the pandemic. He estimates that it is a consequence of their experience with other virus epidemics, reports Euronews.
