A clearer picture will be known later on how rapidly Covid-19 is spreading across the country.
Fresh modelling is to be released by the National Public Health Emergency Team, which will assess how the virus is reproducing, and the impact of the current restrictions in place.
The death toll from Covid-19 has risen to 769, after 49 more people with the virus died, while the number of confirmed cases stands at 16,671.
Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Tony Holohan, says we aren't at a point yet where any restrictions can be lifted.
"If the decision was today, we have not reached a point where we think we could be recommending a changing n restrictions.
"There should be no assumption that this is something automatic, there should be no assumption that this is something we're going to get to, and there should certainly be no anticipatory 'slacking off', if I can put in those terms, in advance of the fifth of May."
