  • An increase in the numbers that can meet outdoors for social/recreational purposes, including in private gardens – maximum of 3 households or 6 people.
  • Reopening of personal services by appointment.
  • Funerals– 50 mourners permitted at service. Related events, either before or after should not take place.

    • Services – 50 guests permitted at service (civil or religious).
    • Celebration/Reception – 6 for indoor gatherings/15 for outdoor gatherings.
  • Inter-county travel can resume.

With 1.5 million vaccine doses now administered we have close to 30% of the population have had at least one dose of the vaccine.

Hope is returning!
