In an interview on RTE this evening acting CMO, doctor Ronan Glynn said that NPHET will meet tomorrow afternoon to consider whether any additional recommendations need to be made to Government based on recent data.

He said:

“We are more interested in the trends over time. Over the past 14 days we’ve seen almost 1,100 cases and our incidence now is running at 23 per 100,000 cases, which is a is obviously a very significant increase in escalation on where we were going back over the past couple of months and over the last number of weeks in particular.”

Commenting on yesterday's Berlin D2 footage he said such behaviour "simply cannot be tolerated" and there must be a "zero tolerance" approach from here on in.

Today, no deaths and 61 confirmed cases, I think the value of the daily figures and waiting with bated breath for them is getting ridiculous. Firstly they should stop releasing daily figures because no value in them , the weekly trend whether it is up or down or stable is all we need to know. Secondly why are they still releasing the total confirmed covid cases since March another meaningless statistic when virtually all of those people are now recovered.

Feel free to do a weekly bulletin.
I agree week on week gives a clearer picture as it smooths out daily blips, but it's easier to report daily as that's what the news outlets do.

I notice that Dublin's new cases in the 7 days up to yesterday, 663 have more than tripled over the previous weeks new cases, 219.

Perhaps it is because of its larger population.

Though with schools re-opening, that has to be a concern.
