The Department of Health has confirmed a further 1,098 Covid-19 cases in the last 24 hours.
163 patients are hospitalised, of which 26 are in ICU.
It comes as more than 10,000 people got vaccinated at temporary walk-in centres across Ireland on Saturday.
Dozens of centres have been operating across the country over the bank holiday weekend as the vaccination programme continues at a significant pace.
Long queues have been observed at many across the weekend, with many young people among those waiting in line for a first jab.
Twenty of the centres will be open through Sunday and Monday.
HSE chief executive Paul Reid, who visited a centre in Athlone on Sunday, said the walk-in initiative would be used again, but not on such a widespread scale as the bank holiday weekend drive.
"Due to the success of it we are looking at how we will utilise it now going forward," he told RTE.
"So we do expect to use it again in a very targeted and focused way not just generally walk-ins but very targeted, focused and promoted. So we do expect to use it again."
