- description: Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has announced that plans to ease coronavirus lockdown restrictions are being accelerated and the country will move to 'Phase 2 Plus' on Monday. Quoting Roman Statesman Cicero who said "the safety of the people shall be our highest law", Mr Varadkar said that has been the approach "we have taken since the pandemic was declared in March". He said we have suffered as a country, we have lost loved ones and changed the way we live our lives, but we are making progress. "Today I can confirm that it is safe to move to Phase 2 of the plan to reopen our country starting on Monday," Mr Varadkar said. "I'm also announcing an acceleration of the roadmap," and there will now be four phases to reopening the country instead of five. Phase 3 will start on 29 June and Phase 4 on 20 July.
