Ireland's new roadmap for the loosening of Covid-19 restrictions is expected to be announced after a Cabinet meeting on August 31.

A government Covid-19 sub-committee meeting will be held this Thursday for what government sources call a "run-down" of the current situation, ahead of a more substantive meeting next week, which will include briefings from public health officials.
