Despite "grim" warnings from the HSE and National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet), ministers will hear proposals to permit people to travel within counties. Today's Cabinet meeting has been pushed back to 1pm when final decisions will be taken on easing the lockdown. The return of children's sports training, senior GAA county training along with tennis and golf are included in that. A return to construction activity for building homes is also expected in the middle of the month, the Irish Examiner understands. Following the briefing from Nphet and the HSE, ministers broke and gathered again after 9pm last night to begin their deliberations.
