Six more counties are now on the brink of being increased to level three restrictions as Covid-19 cases continue to rise across the country.

Green Party leader Eamon Ryan has said "it is a possibility" that other parts of the country may follow Dublin in being moved up to level three restrictions, which have seen many bars and restaurants close in the capital.
