The HSE's chief clinical officer, Dr Colm Henry is hopeful that if Covid cases continue to decrease there will be more options to allow people come together at Christmas.

“Based on the trends we're seeing now, if they're kept up and we keep transmission right down, the number of new cases right down. When you look at the whole spectrum of experience across Europe we're almost best in class in terms of reversing the trends,” he told Newstalk Breakfast.
