The Irish government has announced a phased relaxation of its strict Covid-19 lockdown over the next six weeks.
The country has been at Level Five, its highest level of restrictions, since Christmas.
On 10 May, close-contact services such as hairdressers can reopen and click-and-collect retail can resume.
From the same date, people can travel outside their own county for the first time in more than four months, and team sports training can resume.
Up to 50 people will be allowed to attend weddings, funerals and other religious services.
