Dr. Jack Lambert thinks we need to start adapting to 'life with covid'.
It is possible to safely run Electric Picnic this year with 70,000 people, according to an infectious diseases expert.
There's strong local opposition to the festival in Stradbally this September, with many claiming "it's too much, too soon" and could lead to a rise in covid cases.
Professor of Medicine at UCD, Dr. Jack Lambert, believes Ireland needs to stop relying on draconian restrictions and start adapting to 'life with covid'.
He says large, outdoor events can be a success - as long as organisers and attendees act responsibly:
