TAOISEACH Leo Varadkar has set out a plan for Ireland to start to reopen over 15 weeks from May 18 but until then most of the current restrictions will remain in place. But he explained why the decision has been taken to leave most of the current restrictions in place. It means the only students who may return to classrooms in the next few months will be Leaving Cert candidates. Garden centres, hardware stores, construction sites and other outdoor workplaces are to reopen in the first phase on May 18. Dublin City University (DCU) will re-open for continuing students and new postgraduate taught students on Monday October 5.
