The Taoiseach has announced the easing of some Covid-19 restrictions. Speaking at Government Buildings, Micheál Martin said that from 12 April, people will be allowed to travel within their county or within 20km of residence if crossing borders.
Here is his full speech: Dia Dhaoibh. This evening, I want to talk to you about where we are in the management of Covid-19 and how we safely and successfully chart a path out of restrictions in the weeks and months ahead.
A lot has been asked of everyone. We have lived under very strict Level 5 restrictions now since Christmas. It has been, and continues to be, exceptionally difficult.
