What's top of your list??

4,000 pubs are among the hospitality businesses reopening today for outdoor service.

It's the first time this year that bars and restaurants can welcome back customers.

Cinemas and theatres can also reopen while people can go to gyms, swimming pools and leisure centres for individual training.

Meanwhile, people can have visitors in their homes from one other household.

And the numbers allowed at a wedding reception increases from 6 to 25.

The number allowed at organised outdoor gatherings has increased to 100 people for most venues, while for venues with a minimum capacity of 5,000, the figure rises further to 200.

There are four pilot events with such crowds due to take place this week, the first of which is on Thursday, where 500 people will attend a concert at the Iveagh Gardens.

Outdoor sports matches can resume.

Three pilot sporting events will take place this Friday:

Leinster will play Dragons at the RDS with a crowd of 1,200 people; Shamrock Rovers will play Finn Harps at Tallaght Stadium in front of 1,000 people, while Cork City will play Cabinteely at Turner’s Cross in front of 600 people.

Outdoor amusements such as theme parks and funfairs can reopen.

So, what are you getting up to this week?
