People in the National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, as a phased reopening following Government guidance began on Monday, May 10. Having come through the longest winter ever, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar’s description of yesterday as “a day of freedom” seemed apt. As someone once noted, it’s easy to take liberty for granted when you have never had it taken from you. He was even prepared to countenance a possibility of thinking about foreign travel in the “near to medium term”. Providing we proceed with care, we may yet embrace a safe summer in the light.
