It comes as the Health Minister claims there's been an impact of Level 3 restrictions in Dublin, despite the Chief Medical Officer saying it's too early to tell.

The measures have been in place in the capital for more than three weeks with cases rising again in the past couple of days after some stabilisation last week.

Every county bordering Northern Ireland has an incidence rate of more than 100 - which is raising concerns about travel to Northern Ireland.
