Health Minister Stephen Donnelly will address the Dáil later today on his contacts with the Chief Medical Officer over the weekend.

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said that Mr Donnelly will take questions from the opposition on the matter after Dr Tony Holohan said that he had spoken to the minister before Sunday's Nphet meeting.
