Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said nothing is set in stone when it comes to extending Level 5 restrictions.
He previously told the Irish Daily Mirror that there would be at least nine more weeks of restrictions, while Eamon Ryan told Virgin Media Television last night that it wouldn t be right to talk about specific dates.
These conflicting statements have led to some confusion about the government s communications strategy regarding the pandemic.
To discuss this we were joined by Professor Gary Murphy from the School of Law and Government at DCU and Dr Jennifer Twyford-Hynes, clinical and counselling psychologist and chartered member of the Psychological Society of Ireland.
