A second national lockdown is not being considered "as things stand".
That's according to the National Public Health Emergency Team, despite warnings from the Taoiseach and the Health Minister of the risk of further nationwide Covid-19 restrictions.
A further 93 cases have been confirmed, with 34 in Dublin, 7 in Kildare, and the rest spread across 15 other counties. There were no additional cases of the virus reported in any Connaught county yesterday.
Kildare's lockdown looks set to remain in place, as health officials warn the county's case numbers haven't yet stabilised enough.
But Acting Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Ronan Glynn, says a nationwide lockdown isn't on the cards currently.
Publicans want the Government to announce a financial package later today - which the Tanaiste promised.
The National Public Health Emergency Team is recommending pubs don't reopen on Monday.
Two weeks ago Tanaiste Leo Varadkar said he would bring forward additional supports at today's Cabinet meeting if the closure orders continue.
Paul Moynihan, from the Vintners Federation of Ireland, says many pubs will close for good if they don't get help urgently.
