Restrictions set to be relaxed in Northern Ireland

 

Northern Ireland is likely to relax its restrictions on a phased basis from next week.
A similar lockdown is in place in the six counties as in the Republic, with the rules set by the Stormont Assembly.
The executive will meet on Monday to discuss reducing them on a gradual basis.
But the North’s Communities Minister, Deirdre Harney, says it must be done carefully.
