Taoiseach Micheal Martin tonight announced a Level Five lockdown for the whole country for the next six weeks.

People who are living or parenting alone may pair with another household instead of being restricted to only meeting one other household outdoors.There will also be exemptions to visiting restrictions on compassionate grounds, or to facilitate childcare.

They were found to be a way to recognise that many do not live in a typical 'nuclear family' and that a lot of people have highly varied living arrangements. "A household visit ban while necessary to control the virus is unnecessarily blunt and cruel for those living alone.
