Health Minister Stephen Donnelly has warned that the country is at a "tipping point" and that we could be moving closer to a second national lockdown.

His comments come as NPHET is discussing the possibility of lifting restrictions in Kildare, having already done so in Laois and Offaly.

How bad would a second lockdown be for the economy, and what can be done to stop it from happening?

Priscilla Lynch, clinical editor with the Medical Independent, Tomás Ryan, Associate Professor of Biochemistry at Trinity College, and Neil McDonnell, CEO of ISME, joined us to discuss this.
