Leo Varadkar: Virus 'a fire in retreat' - but we may see more setbacks

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says he is "increasingly confident" that Ireland can enter Phase One of the roadmap to reopening the economy on Monday.

Speaking in the Dáil today, Mr Varadkar said that it must not be taken for granted that Ireland can move through the five phases of the document, which was launched three weeks ago, and that we may see setbacks along the way.
