Ireland's lockdown is set to be eased but the five kilometre limit will remain, it has been reported.
As expected, the country is due to enter phase one of the Government's five-step roadmap on Monday.
This means gatherings of up to four people not from the same household will be permitted once per day from May 18 onwards.
However this will only be allowed as long as they live within 5km of each other, and that two-metre social distancing rules are adhered to at all times, the Irish Independent reports.
Other expected changes include the opening of DIY stores and garden centres, as well as any other shops that operate mostly outdoors.
The roadmap also suggests that public spaces where social distancing can be maintained such as car parks, beaches and mountain walks, will be reopened.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar will confirm exactly what changes will be made in an address to the nation this evening.
Here's all you need to know about the announcement;
What time will Leo Varadkar make an announcement?
The Taoiseach will brief the nation after the Cabinet meets this afternoon to go over the measures.
The exact time will be announced later today but it is expected to be in the early to mid-afternoon with around 4pm a likely time.
The NPHET emergency team already met last night and made their recommendations so it's all up to the Cabinet now.
