The Cabinet is expected to tightened restrictions in Dublin following a recommendation from the National Public Health Emergency Team. 
The capital will move to level three in the new five-point plan aimed at curbing increasing cases of Covid-19.
Further restrictions will be imposed in Dublin from midnight.
The final decision is set to be taken by Cabinet this afternoon following a sub-committee meeting this morning.
It will see Dublin moving to level three in the Living with Covid-19 plan.
That means people will have to stay within the county and people will only be able to travel to and from the Dublin for essential work and education.
Indoor dining will be prohibited and restaurants and pubs that serve food can only operate if they have out door areas or serve take away, subject to a final decision by Cabinet today.
Pubs that do not serve food will no’t be permitted to open in Dublin.
Visits between households will also be curtailed, as will numbers allowed to attend weddings and funerals.
