A DCU professor says the public needs a clear pathway on what will happen with the easing of coronavirus restrictions.
It comes amid reports the measures may not be lifted at all, or only eased slightly, from next week.
It’s due to serious concerns at the high number of new cases being recorded.
701 new cases of Covid-19 were announced here last night, along with an additional 26 deaths.
Professor Anthony Staines says people really need to know what the Government’s plans are.
"I think people will expect a clear reasoned pathway.
"They will understand that this was brought in as a lump, it's going to be peeled off in layers.
"They'll also understand that we have to see what happens if a change is to the restrictions.
"It takes a little while to see what the effects of that change is, and I think people understand that."
