James Fenton

Micheál Martin is set to deliver a speech tomorrow that will outline how Irish society will further reopen throughout June and July.

We know that outdoor hospitality will reopen on June 7 but what of the rest of the month and into July? Micheál Martin’s speech tomorrow is expected to include details of when indoor service can resume in restaurants and pubs as well details on the Digital Green Certificate that could lead to international travel by late-summer.

It has also emerged today that the statement is ‘expected to include list of outdoor sports and entertainment events which will have a live audience.’ This could mean that we will see crowds at sporting or music event at some point in the summer.

The Cabinet sub-committee is due to meet today to discuss NPHET advice on how measures should be eased in June and July. A full Cabinet meeting will take place tomorrow before Micheál Martin addresses the nation at some point in the afternoon.
