Spectators could be allowed to attend outdoor sports events in the North of Ireland from later this month.

The Stormont Executive has been meeting to agree which lockdown restrictions can be lifted.

It is understood ministers have agreed up to 500 people can attend outdoor sport events as spectators from an indicative date of Monday, May 24.

Ministers will give final approval to the proposal next Thursday, May 20.

From May 24, schools will also be allowed to play sports fixtures against each other.

It is understood that from that same date, libraries and museums will be permitted to reopen, and the stay local message will also be removed.

Indoor hospitality will be permitted to resume from May 24 – with a maximum of six people per table from a maximum of six households.

Indoor sports training will be allowed to resume for sports squads from the same date along with wedding receptions and post-funeral events.

The ‘Stay Local’ mantra will be removed.

All retail, outdoor hospitality and self-contained tourist accommodation have already reopened.

The Playhouse in Derry could open to the public on June 21

It is also understood that theatres will be given an indicative date of 21 June to reopen, but this will need to be reviewed by the executive nearer the time in line with public health advice.

Theatres were allowed to resume rehearsals last summer, but were never allowed to welcome back audiences.

It is not clear if it will extend to live music venues, or what mitigations theatres will need to put in place.
