Public health officials are urging people to be careful as Level 5 restrictions slowly begin to relax.
It’s the first time this year that the measures have eased.
After more than three months in Level 5 restrictions, today marks a turning point.
People can now travel anywhere within their own county or 20 kilometres from their home.
Two households can also meet outdoors but not in private gardens and more construction has resumed.
As restrictions slowly ease, the acting chief medical officer is asking people to continue working from home and avoid mixing indoors.
And Ronan Glynn says if you are meeting someone outdoors you still need to keep your distance.
