The further easing of restrictions raises the possibility that some festivals could take place within the coming week, the Minister for Arts has said.
Catherine Martin said live entertainment events have different requirements to sports and events of over 5,000 people in an audience need a licence from a local authority to ahead, which is why a roadmap was so essential.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin announced plans earlier this week to lift most of Ireland's Covid-19 restrictions in the next two months.
From next Monday, organised indoor events and mass gatherings will return, with specific guidelines in place. Speaking on RTÉ's Today with Claire Byrne, Minister Martin said it is a "massive step in the right direction".
