However, the rate has continued to rise in all parts of the county - with the rate now surpassing 150 in Dublin South East and Dublin North Central.

Any impact from the level three restrictions introduced for Dublin on Friday are unlikely to be seen until at least next week, due to the incubation period for the virus.

Meanwhile, nationwide figures show County Louth has become the second county to see its two-week COVID-19 incidence rate rise above 100.
