A further three people have died and 14 new cases of Covid-19 were announced today.
The latest figures were released by the Department of Health this evening.
The death toll from the virus in the country now stands at 1,709 and the total number of confirmed cases now stands at 25,334.
On Monday, no new deaths were reported on the entire island of Ireland.
And a whopping 22 counties recorded no new cases in the last 24 hours.
Ireland has also seen a staggering 92% drop in the number of coronavirus patients in hospital, new statistics show.
Tuesday, April 14, saw a total of 884 confirmed Covid-19 patients in hospitals around the country.
However, Health Minister Simon Harris said this morning that the number now stands at just 71, a decrease of 92% from the peak.
Meanwhile 24 people are currently battling the disease in intensive care. This is also a huge drop from the peak, which saw 160 patients in ICU.
Mr Harris praised the Irish public for their progress so far, but said that more needs to be done.
He wrote on Twitter: "Further reduction this Tuesday morning in the number of Covid-19 patients in hospitals.
"71 patients in hospital and 24 in ICU. A reduction since yesterday.
"We think of those who are sick, their families and healthcare staff. Build on the progress by sticking with public health advice."
