TDs from Kildare say they don't expect the county to be released from recent Covid-19 restrictions on Sunday.

Kildare, Offaly and Laois were plunged into "local lockdowns" last week for 16 days under public health advice after a spike in Coronavirus cases linked to meatpacking plants and direct provision centres.
