The 5km rule looks set to be one of the restrictions eased next month.

One Government Minister says there will be a slight easing of measures but warns it won’t be much.

As pandemic fatigue well and truly sets in, everyone wants to know what restrictions could ease next month.

Many rural TDS want the 5km rule to be scrapped, mass to resume and for funerals to allow more than 10 mourners.

"Bonkers"

Higher Education Minister Simon Harris has admitted the 5km rule is one that could change as it’s driving people, as he said, absolutely bonkers.

He says some restrictions will ease on April the 5th but warns it won’t be much.

Immunologist Professor Luke O’Neill says there has to be some give and take or people will simply break the rules.

The Government is set to reveal its plans for restrictions next Tuesday.
