The Taoiseach is coming under pressure from his own party in Wexford and nationally to move to Level 2 Covid-19 restrictions for Christmas.
Micheál Martin has said the aim is to move to Level 3 when the current restrictions end in December.
However, at a meeting of the Fianna Fail parliamentary party last night, there was a ‘general consensus’ to go further.
Restaurants and bars can open with indoor dining at Level 2.
Gorey senator Malcolm Byrne believes this should happen in December.
