It's as pubs and restaurants reopen following weeks of lockdown
Yesterday was the first time venues were allowed to serve food indoors since October.
There is a fear among public health officials that the increased socialising will lead to a spike in the number of Covid-19 cases again.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin says it's in everyone's own hands to prevent that:
'Personal responsibility and collective responsibility is going to be central to all of this. There are risks attached to this, without doubt there are risks attached. And so personal behavior is very very important in that regard. The need to adhere to the protocols to act as if you have the virus, and that you don't wish to spread it to anybody else.'
