The Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has said that public transport will return to 100% capacity next week. Public transport is currently operating at 75% capacity under the Covid-19 restrictions.
Speaking on RTE's This Week, Mr Ryan said there would be a series of phased relaxations of restrictions for the month of September starting with public transport.
He said the change to public transport was to accommodate the return of schools, colleges and people going back to the office.
Mr Ryan also said confirmations and communions would return in September. Restrictions on numbers attending live entertainment would also be unwound through September into October.
