• Dublin's four local authorities have come together to create a designated time for cocooners who wish to exercise in their local parks.

    From tomorrow, a two-hour period between 1.30pm and 3.30pm will be reserved in all parks across Dublin city and county for people who are cocooning.

    This includes the over-70s and medically vulnerable people.

    Other park users are asked to consider using the parks at other times.
