With Covid-19 restrictions already in place and stronger measures expected to follow soon, Halloween this year will be different from usual.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan was asked about Halloween at a briefing recently, and he said clearly it will not be a normal Halloween.
He said public health officials want to stop people gathering, and children and families should not move between houses trick-or-treating in the way that normally happens at Halloween.
