The Green Party leader says people in the live events sector can look forward to going back to work in September.
The Cabinet sub-committee on Covid-19 has concluded its meeting and agreed to meet again on Monday where the timeline for reopening will be finalised.
Restrictions around confirmations, communions and public transport are expected to be the first things to be eased.
As he left today's meeting, Minister Eamon Ryan was asked whether those in the entertainment sector will be back in work next month:
"I think so, yes. And not just them. Like there's people in a local band bingo hall, there's a local bowling club. There's a whole range of different activities that have been held back by this virus. We still need to be careful. We'd be trusting a lot of responsibility to kind of, we're not going to rush back, not going to do it recklessly."
