Air travel and hospitality to resume in July as part of gradual reopening

The Munster hurling clash between All-Ireland champions Limerick and Cork is among the trial events that will have crowds.

The most significant reopening of society since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic has been announced as Taoiseach Micheál Martin said the "end is within our grasp".

The resumption of international travel and indoor dining from July as well as the return of spectators at large sporting and cultural events are among the most substantial aspects of the announcement.
