    Abstract

    People expect the lifting of social distancing restrictions to be slow and gradual, with most indoor social activities not possible until at least September, according to new ESRI research. Most also believe that the lifting of restrictions should prioritise necessities ahead of leisure activities. The findings are based on data collected the week before the Taoiseach’s May 1st announcement of the Roadmap for Reopening Society and Business. The study found no evidence that a substantial proportion of the public expected a more rapid lifting of restrictions. All phases of the roadmap are subject to review based on public health data. However, if it proves possible to meet the timetable outlined in the roadmap, this would amount to a substantially more rapid lifting of restrictions than the public expected before the roadmap was published.
