Ireland is tightening coronavirus rules but will not go into a second national lockdown - despite calls from the country's health chiefs.
People will be asked to stay within their county and work from home unless it is absolutely unavoidable, while schools and other education establishments should remain open.
Wet pubs in Dublin remain closed, along with all of Ireland's indoor museums, galleries, cinemas and other cultural attractions. Ireland reported the highest number of daily new infections since late April on Saturday, but its 14-day cumulative case total stands at 104 per 100,000 people.
