Ireland's sporting calendar could be thrown into disarray with NPHET set to recommend the highest level of restrictions for the entire country.
In a letter sent to Government, it's understood that Level 5 restrictions will be recommended for four weeks.
However, there is political resistance to this, on both practical and economic grounds.
From a sporting perspective, Level 5 suspends sport nationwide - all matches and training at all levels.
Only individual training is allowed.
