The Cabinet is meeting at present to sign off on the Government's revised Living with Covid-19 plan, and Taoiseach Micheál Martin will address the country later this evening - that's expected about 6pm.
The phased reopening of schools and childcare will be prioritised in the plan, while Level 5 restrictions look set to be extended until at least 5 April.
There will also be an updated vaccination priority list, where those with underlying illnesses are set to be moved up the list.
