Taoiseach Micheál Martin will outline plans for the return of outdoor events, holidays abroad, and the next phase of reopening next Friday. This announcement is likely to include plans to have a ‘travel bubble’ between Ireland and the UK for those fully vaccinated from July. The Taoiseach’s announcement next week is also expected to give more detail on some of the pilot live events being trialled, which include having spectators at matches and attendees at concerts. Antigen testing will be key to these live events. Cabinet will then meet on Friday and the Taoiseach will then make an announcement to the next phase of reopening on Friday.
