A public health expert says Ireland should re-consider implementing compulsory quarantine for people flying into the country.
18 more Covid-related deaths have been recorded, with most of those having taken place in November.
Health officials have also confirmed 269 cases - 73 of those in Dublin with 20 in Kilkenny and Limerick, and 19 in both Louth and Tipperary.
DCU Professor of Health Systems, Anthony Staines, says nations that have managed to keep Covid levels down have quarantined international travellers:
