Thousands of businesses face closure for another 12 weeks because of the new nationwide total lockdown announced by the Government.
The move to full lockdown restrictions came as 17 additional deaths were announced, while a further 7,836 cases were confirmed — 2,263 in Dublin, 1,373 in Cork, with the rest spread across other counties.
