The government's new COVID roadmap has been described as confused and confusing.

The plan contains five levels of restrictions based on how many cases of COVID there are in a particular county.

The government made much of this plan being a clear roadmap for the next nine months.

It has five levels of restrictions - with the entire country being placed on level two.

But Dublin has had more measures implemented - leaving it somewhere between points two and three.

That's something Labour leader Alan Kelly criticised but Taoiseach Micheál Martin rejected that criticism

A new international travel regime will start next Monday - with countries like Germany, Poland, Iceland, Lithuania, Finland and Sweden likely to be added to the safe to travel list.

Spectator sport is also to return with 200 people allowed to watch a match in stadiums that can hold at least 5,000 with the government examining having bigger crowds in the largest stadiums like Croke Park and the Aviva.

Sinn Fein TD for Sligo Letirim North Roscommon Martin Kenny says the message coming from government is still not clear enough.

He says he expected more details from the Taoiseach and Tanaiste about what the different levels mean.
