Ireland's return to normality continues this week with a key date in the summer reopening plan.
Some major changes are now in place after government leaders and health officials gave the go-ahead to an easing of restrictions.
If the state of the coronavirus remains stable, then we could see even more restrictions being lifted in the next month.
But focusing on the present - here are 10 things that you can do from today and 10 things that you have to wait a little longer for.
10 things you can do from today
1) Shop at Penneys!
Rejoice - because retail has returned.
Click and collect services will resume and shoppers can visit certain stores, provided they have an appointment only. Elsewhere, outdoor retail can recommence too.
2) Puck a sliotair around with your club GAA team
Training for GAA inter-county players resumed a few weeks ago while elite athletes that were monitored by Sport Ireland also returned to work. However, a maximum of 15 people can now train outdoors - with some outdoor gym classes being permitted too.
3) Go for a drive around the country
The 20km or stay-in-your-county travel limit will be no more with motorists allowed to freely can travel between counties in Ireland.
4) Take in some art at the National Gallery
Ireland's cultural sector will also get a boost with galleries, museums, and libraries reopening. After spending months indoors, the opportunity for the nation to broaden its knowledge and mind is bound to be a very welcome addition.
5) Have a few mates over for a bag of cans in the garden
People will be able to entertain guests from a maximum of three households or 6 people from any number of households.
6) Take that bag of cans and meet up with a few more mates in a park
With the weather showing signs of improvement, the first steps towards an outdoor summer will allow a maximum number of 15 people to meet up.
7) Get rid of the monstrosity that is your lockdown hair
For many, they are still dealing with the same hairstyle that they had before Christmas.
But that is no longer the case - as barbers and hairdressers reopen for appointments only this morning.
8) Get your nails done
The same applies to nail bars - so no more home-shellacking for you!
9) Have more people at your wedding
The number of people allowed at a service has been increased to 50, while a maximum of 6 guests at an indoor reception or 15 outdoors will be allowed.
10) Visit a property that you're planning to buy or rent
Potential homeowners can recommence with viewing, provided they have been made by appointment only and with licensed Property Service Providers.
10 things you can't do
1) Go for a pint
We shouldn't have to wait too much longer to get a lovely pint in front of us in a pub.
Takeaway pints remain the only option until June at the earliest.
2) Have a house party
If all goes well, from June 7, visiting indoors in private homes will be allowed– only visitors from one other household are permitted.
But house parties will have to wait another couple of months.
3) Stay in a hotel
This willbe given the green light at the start of next month, allowing us to help get the economy up and running again with staycations.
4) Go for a nice meal
The Government have signalled that from June 7, outdoor services in restaurants and bars can recommence, with groups limited to a maximum of 6 people
5) Go maskless on public transport
Gardaí will fine anyone that refuses to mask up on public transport.
This has been the case for a number of months and we can't see it stopping until the virus is completely eradicated.
6) Rent a caravan/mobile home
Mobile home and caravan parks CAN open from today - to facilitate owners accessing their stationary mobile homes or caravans. However, no tourism activities (for example: rental of mobile homes or pitches) are permitted and no shared facilities should be opened.
7) Head to a casino
The theme of the summer is 'outdoors' - so don't be expecting to go pulling slots anytime soon.
8) Pump some iron in a gym
Though outdoor activity is allowed, gyms are not scheduled to open until the middle of June - though this could be changed depending on how the case numbers go.
9) Travel internationally
By Government rules, you can't travel internationally without a valid reason, or without having to quarantine for two weeks upon your return
10) Watch a movie in a cinema
There was MAJOR confusion when the Government first published their plan - with cinemas allowed to reopen in June before being told moments later this was not the case.
As it stands, this is something planned for later in the year.
