The Taoiseach has suggested the majority of Level 5 restrictions will be extended into the middle of May.
Micheál Martin has told the Dáil the lockdown measures will be reviewed a week before April 5th.
Looks like whatever modest re-opening happens in April will last for SIX weeks before being reviewed. Construction, 5km travel rule and small meetings outside being considered from April 5th until middle of May.

He said new measures will then be put in place for a further six weeks.
It's expected construction of homes will be allowed to resume, the 5km travel restrictions will be lifted and some small outdoor gatherings will be allowed.
But the Taoiseach Micheál Martin has warned people not too expect many other restrictions to be lifted:
"We'll take advice from public health and we'll then advise in terms of what is the best way forward in the following six weeks after that."
