"Phase three" is here: from today, cafes and restaurants, hotels, "pubs operating as restaurants", hairdressers, beauty salons and driving schools, most shops and other retail services can reopen to customers again under the biggest easing of Covid-19 restrictions since the pandemic began. Childcare facilities, places of worship, galleries, museums and cinemas are also free to reopen their doors, and people are free to travel anywhere in Ireland without restriction.
The Irish Times would like to hear from readers about their experiences. Have you had your hair done? Gone for a meal? Had your first pint in a pub? Been to see a film? Travelled to visit family you haven’t seen in four months? Dropped your kids off at creche?
