With Halloween just over a month away, question marks are beginning to spring up about whether or not trick or treating will be on the cards for thousands around the country.

And listeners to Dermot and Dave are divided over whether or not it's appropriate for children to travel around their local area knocking to neighbours houses.

Some listeners feel it's the chance for children to have some sense of occasion after St. Patricks' Day, Easter and thousands of communions and confirmations have been cancelled or postponed while others see the notion of interacting with that many people as impossible given current restrictions.

A poll taken by Dermot and Dave found that 53% of listeners believe Halloween should go ahead as it usually would, while 47% would prefer to see no trick or treating.
