Micheal Martin highlighted Louth, Donegal and Waterford as areas giving rise for concern.

He said experts on the National Public Health Emergency Team would be carefully considering whether to advise Government that restrictions should be tightened in those counties.

Dublin is currently subject to Level Three restrictions under the Government’s Covid-19 five-tier response plan, with the rest of the country at Level Two.
