Dublin lockdown - when should Ireland restrictions be lifted and what should reopen first?

Ireland was placed under its third lockdown after an alarming rise in Covid-19 cases following the Christmas period.

As Covid infections continued to rise, Ireland has seen more Covid-19 cases confirmed in the first two months of 2021 than throughout all of 2020.

Strict Level Five restrictions have been in place for the last seven weeks and will stay in place until at least March 5 when Cabinet will meet to discuss any possible changes.

Despite the review of the restrictions due next month, politicians and health experts have all signalled that there won't be a huge amount of change come March 5 with Level Five likely to stay in place until cases are brought down further.

However, Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said that it will be the Government's priority to get schools reopened first as well as some reopening of the construction sector.

We want to hear from you and see when you think the current lockdown should be lifted and what should be given priority when the reopening does eventually happen.
