The Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has said it's "too early to advise on how and when" construction will reopen, sports training will resume, or whether staycation holidays will be permitted this summer.

While children in junior and senior infants classes as well as Leaving Cert students are expected to return to the classroom from early next month, Mr Donnelly indicated that any other reopening of the economy will not happen for some time.
