• The Government announced its five-level plan for ‘Living with Covid-19‘ over the next six months. 
• Following that announcement, the entire Cabinet is now restricting its movements but the Dáil will resume this evening after it had earlier been abandoned for a week after Health Minister Stephen Donnelly was sent for a Covid-19 test. 
• Meanwhile, public health officials confirmed three more deaths from Covid-19 in Ireland and a further 357 cases – 218 of which are in Dublin. 
• Dublin is subject to new restrictions with people in the capital now being asked to invite no more than one other household to their homes. So-called ‘wet pubs’ will also remain closed in the capital. 
• In more positive news, fans will be allowed again to attend sporting events around the country following the announcement today of the Government’s plan. 
• In less positive news – I know, this is a rollercoaster – the next census has been postponed from 2021 to 2022, the Central Statistics Office (CSO) said.
• Taxi drivers called on the government to introduce a range of measures to support the industry as they deal with the ongoing effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
• A 16-year-old boy was remanded in custody and will face a psychiatric evaluation after he was charged with the murder of a homeless man in Dublin.
