All pubs, including hotel bars, have been asked to close from tonight until at least 29 March, in a bid to curb the spread of Covid-19.
The Government has also strongly advised against house parties while the pubs are closed.
Earlier today the majority of pubs and restaurants in Wicklow and around the country announced that they will close until the end of the month due to the Coronavirus crises.
Members of the public were left lived after footage appeared on Social Media of crowds in Temple Bar, Dublin on Staurday night.
This afternoon The Temple Bar Company and its members announced that thy will close their premises with voluntary and immediate effect.
So far there have been two deaths and 129 cases of Covid-19 in Ireland.
Today 11 new cases were reported in Northern Ireland bringing the total to 45.
People who have been out this weekend should avoid physical contact with seniors or people with chronic diseases. You could make them very very sick.
