The Taoiseach has met with the chief medical officer in an effort to repair relationships after a fraught start to the week.

Micheál Martin told the Dáil during Leaders' Questions that he had met with Dr Tony Holohan on Wednesday morning after the Tánaiste Leo Varadkar launched a stinging attack on the CMO and Nphet on RTÉ television on Monday night after they had recommended that the entire county be moved to Level 5 restrictions.
