Covid 19 restrictions ease, again, from June 2nd.

St. Patrick's Mental Health Services say everyone in Ireland will have to undertake a "psychological journey" as restrictions ease.

Some people may have been cocooning, or remote working, since March of 2020.

Hotels, B&Bs and guesthouses can open from June 2nd - with outdoor dining in bars are restaurants from June 7th.

On that day cinemas, theatres and gyms can along with driving test centres and driving theory tests will resume.

Outdoor gatherings of up to 200 people will be allowed in venues with a capacity of more than 5,000, a figure that will rise over the summer.

July 5th will see the return of indoor dining and three households will be allowed to meet regardless of whether they're vaccinated or not.

A series of test live events for crowds will be run in June at sporting and entertainment venues.

While international travel has been given the green light to resume from the 19th of July.
