The Republic's chief medical officer said that today's Covid-19 data shows a "concerning increase" in transmission of the Delta variant.
Dr Tony Holohan said that the Delta variant accounts for up to 20% of cases reported in the Republic in the last week.
"We have also seen a number of outbreaks associated with this variant reported in the last week," Dr Holohan added.
"This is similar to a pattern being seen in a number of other EU member states.
"In the UK, Delta has been the dominant strain of Covid-19 for a number of weeks and now they are beginning to experience a rise in hospitalisations.
"It is really important that people who are not fully vaccinated continue to follow all public health advice.
"This includes people who are waiting for their second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
"People should take a vaccine when it is offered to them and in the meantime they should continue to avoid crowds, limit contacts, avoid meeting up indoors and work from home where possible."
