Business bodies round on Executive over lack of clarity in pathway paper out of lockdown Business groups have criticised the Executive's pathway plan for offering no timeline for opening. Picture by Mal McCann. Ryan McAleer Tina McKenzie THE Executive’s blueprint for reopening the economy has been greeted with frustration and disappointment from business bodies for failing to provide certainty and dates to facilitate proper planning. Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill was adamant yesterday that progression through the five stages of the nine separate pathways could only happen in accordance with the health, community and economic data. While a timeline was absent from the ‘pathway out of restrictions’ paper, the Executive confirmed it will review potential relaxations on March 16, April 15, May 13 and June 10.
