The deputy chief medical officer has said there are "more reasons than ever to hope" than at any time during the pandemic, and that a fourth wave was not predictable.

Dr Ronan Glynn told the Oireachtas Health Committee that the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) was not predicting a fourth wave of Covid-19, but said one could happen if restrictions are eased too quickly.
