The Tánaiste has said a decision on increasing coronavirus restrictions in the border counties will be made some time today.
Politicians in Northern Ireland are due to make a decision on increased restrictions in the coming hours amid spiralling COVID-19 numbers in the six counties.
Schools are expected to be closed for two weeks with pubs and restaurants to be limited to takeaway and delivery for a month. Further restrictions on travel are also likely.
It comes as three of the counties along the border – Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan – are reporting the highest coronavirus rates in the Republic.
On The Pat Kenny Show this morning, the Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said a decision on the border counties will be made later today.
