New Garda powers to police pubs, restaurants and house parties are being drawn up by government and the Attorney General.
It's part of new restrictions which will see the elderly asked to limit their contact with others, and people urged to keep indoor social visits to no more than 6 people from 3 households.
People are also being asked to avoid public transport, while opening times for restaurants and pubs serving food have been extended by half an hour to 11:30.
