Ireland is now in a 'stable' situation with Covid-19 - as the Chief Medical Officer hailed the people of the nation for their efforts.
In remarks made to an Oireachtas Committee on Thursday morning, Dr Tony Holohan noted that while the pandemic isn't over just yet, the overall picture remains "broadly positve."
He said: "This is demonstrated by an encouraging picture across a range of disease indicators. While the overall epidemiological situation indicates continuing high levels of infection and a significant number of cases receiving general hospital care, the number of hospitalised cases has fallen over recent days.
