Last Monday saw an easing of the 5km travel limit, with people now allowed travel anywhere within their own county or within 20km of their house, if they are passing a border.
There was also a full return to teaching, and two households were given the go-ahead to meet up safely outside.
The easing of these restrictions was a welcome relief, with strict lockdown measures being in place since early January.
And there are another two restrictions set to be eased from tomorrow, April 19.
The GAA can resume training and the playing of National Governing Body sanctioned and organised adult inter-county National Gaelic Games Leagues.
However, this does not include under 20 or minor competitions, which are yet to be allowed back.
As well as that, elite sport is allowed to resume - which means high performing athletes which are approved by Sport Ireland can also begin their training again.
From the following Monday, we're set to see another four changes to lockdown rules - including outdoor sports facilities and outdoor visitor attractions re-opening.
Sports facilities such as pitches, golf courses, tennis courts and other facilities which are deemed appropriate under this category will return.
On top of that, underage non-contact and outdoor training in pods of 15 or fewer will be allowed resume their training.
Outdoor attractions such as zoos, open pet farms and heritage sites will get the go ahead to open their doors again, but amusement parks are not permitted in this category.
The fourth and final change to lockdown that will come next Monday is that the maximum attendance at funerals will increase from 10 mourners to 25.
The Government is currently drafting a re-opening plan for the summer months - with a full reopening of construction activity, a phased return of non-essential retail expected from May 4.
There will also be the the staggered return of personal services throughout the month, along with the reopening of museums, galleries and libraries, as well as the return of religious services on a staggered basis.
In the third week of May, it is likely that hairdressers, barbers and personal services will be allowed open their doors again, with a return to inter-country travel expected to take place in the first week of June.
Outdoor dining and hospitality is expected come in mid-June.
From early July, the Government is expected to allow indoor dining and the return of hotels and B&Bs.
