A leading health expert Professor Liam Fanning has cautioned that it would be better to wait until primary schools close for the summer holidays before inter-county travel restrictions are lifted.

Immunovirology expert at University College Cork, Prof Fanning said that once the primary schools close at the end of June then inter-county travel could be considered, but that any counties that continued to have higher levels of Covid cases should be excluded.
