Another phase of easing of restrictions is in effect.
Scores of bars, cafés and restaurants across Kildare yesterday began serving customers on the premises for the first time in months.
Those with outdoor areas have reopened.
It also means thousands more staff can come off the pandemic unemployment payment and return to work.
Gyms, swimming pools and leisure centres have also reopened.
Anthony Staines is Professor of Health Systems at DCU, and also a founder member of the Irish Scientific Advisory Group.
He joined Ciara Noble on Tuesday's edition of Kildare Today to discuss re-opening and the gathering of large crowds outdoors.
