The government has confirmed that the country will move to Level 5 restrictions from Wednesday night.

Only essential retail will be permitted to open, while pubs and restaurants will only be allowed to operate takeaway and delivery services.

Schools and creches will remain open, and only essential travel will be permitted within 5 km of your home.

Colm Burke, Fine Gael TD for Cork North Central and Fine Gael spokesperson on health, and Michael Fitzmaurice, Independent TD for Roscommon-Galway, joined us to discuss the restrictions and how they will be enforced.
