Ireland finally looks set to enjoy some relaxation of the current severe lockdown restrictions on April 5.
Some key changes are expected, with government leaders to discuss the new measures over the coming days.
An extension to the 5km limit is on the table, while it is understood Ministers see the two key priorities as a phased return for construction workers and the return of outdoor sports for children.
There have already been some minor changes to the severe restrictions, including the phased return of schoolchildren in recent weeks.
However, there are also a huge number of measures that we are certain won't be changing on April 5, particularly as case numbers continue to stay stubbornly high.
We are currently at Level Five of the lockdown roadmap, with no realistic prospect of reaching the lower levels any time soon.
Here is a look at the key sectors on the government roadmap, and whether they are likely to change on April 5:
Social and family gatherings
Last month the government said they would target some easing of restrictions on outdoor activities and meetings beyond one other household.
Retail and services (for example: hairdressers, beauticians, barbers)
Click and collect services could return, but no large scale reopening is expected for the retail or services sector on April 5.
Weddings
Up to six guests are currently permitted, and this is unlikely to change.
Organised gatherings
No organised indoor or outdoor gatherings are currently allowed to take place, and that is not expected to change on April 5.
Exercise and sporting events
The government is set to consider easing restrictions on outdoor training, particularly for children.
Attendance at funerals
Funerals are currently limited to 10 people, although there have been calls to raise this number. The government position is not yet clear on whether this will change.
Museums, galleries and other cultural attractions
These are expected to remain shut on April 5.
Bars, cafes and restaurants (including hotel restaurants and bars)
The hospitality sector will remain open for takeaway food and delivery only.
Wet pubs
Wet pubs are set to remain closed.
Hotels and accommodation
Currently open only for essential non-social and non-tourist purposes, and this is not expected to change on April 5.
Work
Work from home unless essential for work, which is an essential health, social care or other essential service and cannot be done from home.
Travel restrictions
The current 5km exercise limit is likely to be extended, this could be to 10km, 20km, or within your own county.
Outdoor playgrounds, play areas and parks
Open with protective measures in place.
