Local lockdowns for specific parts of Dublin are not being considered by the government, according to the Health Minister.
It's after a rise in COVID-19 cases in the capital, with over 100 reported yesterday alone.
Public health officials have said local lockdown measures wouldn't be the first or second option to control the spread of the virus.
Minister Stephen Donnelly says although restrictions in Laois, Offaly and Kildare have worked, bringing in measures in the capital is not on the table right now;
"The cases in Dublin generally have been increasing steadily over the last few days, we are watching the situation carefully" he said.
"However there has been no talk of additional restrictions being brought in for Dublin or indeed other areas."
