Following scenes of widespread street drinking at the weekend, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has warned a review at the end of June will determine whether a planned lifting of restrictions in July goes ahead.

The Taoiseach has warned that the progress of recent weeks in advancing the vaccination roll-out and abiding by public health advice needs to be maintained.
