Speaking this evening, Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said today's figures reflect trends seen in recent days and weeks.
He said: "It's consistent with our overall pattern of reduction. There's also a weekend effect in terms of reporting.
"There were four deaths last Monday, and then the following the day there was maybe a jump in that number - that can sometimes just be explained by the delay in reporting you can have over a weekend.
"But it's part of the continued trend that we've seen."
Dr Holohan said recent data has shown "we have suppressed COVID-19 as a country".
However, he stressed it will be another week before the numbers reflect the effect of the first phase of easing restrictions.
