The Government is ready to act on the recent increase in cases when they meet to agree on the plan to ‘live with Covid’ on Tuesday.
Dublin continues to see a sharp increase in Covid-19 cases after 156 more in the capital on Sunday.
According to reports, there are likely to be restrictions on the number of homes in Dublin as of this Tuesday after being recommended by NPHET.
A decision is also expected to be made on whether all pubs can reopen on September 21 and Dublin establishments are at risk of not getting the green light.
Other areas like Limerick and Kildare are also on the brink of restrictions and could see stricter rules if cases jump.

Latest from the Taoiseach
Taoiseach Micheal Martin told RTE’s The Week in Politics: “We will act decisively.
“We are also careful to want to develop a pattern over the next six months because we also cannot jump from week to week in terms of responses.
“We will allow consultations with the CMO before Tuesday, but there will also be consultations with my colleagues in terms of any further decisions that need to be made.”
