Indoor hospitality, visits from people from three other households, and having 50 people at a wedding will all be allowed from July 5, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said.

Despite concerns around the rise of the Delta variant of Covid-19, Mr Martin has confirmed the plan to reopen will proceed, but there will be no additional measures kicking in on that date.
