The Taoiseach has come under pressure from members of his own party to move the country to Level 2 Covid-19 restrictions for Christmas.

Yesterday, Micheal Martin said the aim was Level 3 from the 1st of December to allow businesses to re-open.
However, at a meeting of the Fianna Fail parliamentary party last night, there was a 'general consensus' to go further and allow domestic travel and more visitors to homes.
The National Public Health Emergency Team meet later to discuss the current progress with Level 5.
