His call follows reports of blatant disregarding of social distancing guidelines across the country in recent days - including house parties, large volumes of people at public parks, and businesses not adhering to social distancing guidelines.

However, this afternoon Taoiseach Leo Varadkar suggested a full lock-down of the country would NOT be the most effective way to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.
