The Cabinet has agreed a number of new restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus. The measures will remain in place until 13 September.
The Government is working on a new roadmap, which it hopes to publish soon. At a glance, here are the main points from today's announcement...
All outdoor events will be limited to 15 people, down from 200. Indoor events will be reduced from 50 people to just six people, except for businesses such as shops and restaurants.
Weddings and some religious services, such as mass, are exempt from the new restrictions, meaning they can still take place with up to 50 people.
