Ireland is at level 5 restrictions. This means everyone is asked to please stay at home, to protect friends, family and the frontline.

COVID-19 Vaccination Programme
The vaccination programme continues to be rolled out nationwide, and more than 280,000 vaccines have been administered. This week we saw the vaccination programme go firmly out into the community, with people aged 85 and over beginning to be invited for their vaccines by GPs. When this group is complete, we’ll move on to the next age-group, people aged 80 and over.
