Taoiseach Micheal Martin has giving an inkling into when the earliest date might be for an indoor pint across Ireland.
The Fianna Fail leader has lifted the spirits of the public in recent days and continues to do so saying that we could be sipping away inside "towards the end of July".
He told Pat Kenny on Newstalk that the date would "depend" but it would "certainly not [be] in May or June.
He added: "Whether in July, it may be possible towards the end of July and I think it's within that timeframe.
"It's a possibility. I don't want to be nailing my colours to the mast on that, but by then we will have a very significant numbers of people vaccinated."
