'We have to recognise that the vaccination targets we have been meeting are phenomenal'
The speed of Ireland's vaccination rollout and the success of test events has seen renewed hope for a further reopening of the country over the coming weeks.
Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said there will be no freedom day in Ireland but that Covid-19 will "peter out" in the coming months. "What's next? It has to be the return to work and to college. We are already back in school, but we need real life to return.” Meanwhile, in another boost for Irish society, Ryan said the government is also considering the use of the Digital Covid Cert for the return of live music and entertainment events, possibly in the autumn "in a staged, step-by-step basis".
