A move to Level Four could be on the cards on March 5 if Ireland's next six weeks of lockdown prove successful.
The Government has stressed there will be a very gradual reopening whenever it does begin - whether that be on March 5 or later.
So that undoubtedly means the next step in the plan will be to move to Level Four.
And seen as it's been so long since we've been at Level Four, many will forget what exactly that entails - so here's a rundown of the basic rules.
You won't be heading to the pub straight away but there is some added freedom.
Level Four restrictions
Exercise and sporting events
Training can resume outdoors - as long as it's non-contact and in pods of up to 15 people.
Indoor training must be individual only. No exercise or dance classes can take place.
No sports matches or events can take place, with the exemption of 'professional and elite sport' which can take place behind closed doors.
Gyms, leisure centres and swimming pools will remain closed.
Religious services
Services will continue to be held online, though places of worship will remain open for private prayer.

Up to 25 mourners can attend.
