A summer of "hope and caution" is on the cards after the Taoiseach announced the reopening of retail, sports, nationwide travel, and hospitality from next week. Construction will fully reopen next week, and public transport will increase to 50% capacity. However, it will be June 2 before hotels and guesthouses will reopen, with indoor dining for residents only. 'Hope and caution'However, the Tánaiste said the measures could be described in two words: "Hope and caution". The Taoiseach said "there is public health advice" behind the decision, and the Government has no difficulty in publishing it.
