It’s believed that health officials could examine the end of the 8pm hospitality curfew and a partial return to the office. The Taoiseach said he wants to outline to people tomorrow “how we intend to now live with Covid over the next while, because Covid isn’t going away”.Martin said that “the situation is positive”, added that “we have come through Omicron better than we might have expected prior to Christmas”.
The potential lifting of restrictions follows a decline in the number of Covid cases being reported in the last week. “The numbers in ICU have steadied,” Ryan said, adding that it “looks like it’s going to give us the chance to start lifting restrictions quickly, in my mind very widely”.Tánaiste Leo Varadkar told a meeting of the Fine Gael parliamentary party earlier this week that he hopes all restrictions, including the domestic use of Covid passes for pubs and restaurants, will be lifted by the end of March.
