In about an hour’s time, An Taoiseach Micheál Martin will be announcing a road map for further opening up the country over the next few weeks.

But as is always, plenty of the details have already been leaked.

Hotels opening on June 2nd, outdoor dining, gyms, pools and cinemas from June 7th and indoor dining from July, just to name a few.

There will also be some test events for increased capacity at events over the next few weeks.

Kevin Quinn, Leinster Rugby's Head of Commercial and Marketing & Paul Moynagh, Professor of Immunology and Director of the Kathleen Lonsdale Institute for Human Health research at Maynooth University, joined Kieran to discuss the new road map.
