Data from mobile phones and seismic sensors has suggested an increase in activity, or a "slippage" in public compliance with the social distancing restrictions, chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan said on Thursday. He said while people may feel Ireland is on "a pathway towards the slackening of measures on May 5th, that is not the case".

We would like to hear how readers are handling the restrictions now. How are you coping with working from home, homeschooling children, social distancing in shops and the 2km limit for exercise? Do you find you are getting used to it with time, or is it becoming more difficult? What impact is it having on your mental health? What concerns do you have for family members, or friends? Have you noticed “slippage” in public compliance? How do you feel about the measures possibly being extended beyond May 5th?
