Ireland has seen a drop of nearly 80% in the number of coronavirus patients in ICU over the last two months, statistics show.
A total of 36 people with Covid-19 are in intensive care units across the country.
This is a huge fall from the peak in early April that saw 160 patients in critical care, a drop of 77%.
There are now currently 124 vacant ICU beds across Ireland, as well as an additional 1,071 vacant general care beds, RTE reports.
The busiest hospital remains the Mater in north Dublin, which is currently treating 44 confirmed cases, followed by Tallaght with 27.
Outside of the capital, Galway and Limerick are the hardest-hit hospitals, with 13 and ten Covid-19 patients respectively.
It comes as a number of counties reported zero new cases over a 24-hour period according to the latest statistics released by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC).
The stats cover the period up to midnight on Friday, May 29, with a total of 11 counties reporting no new cases in the previous 24-hours.
Clare, Donegal, Kerry, Kildare, Leitrim, Mayo, Offaly, Sligo, Waterford, Wexford and Wicklow recorded no rise in infections in the latest numbers released yesterday.
But the figures show that Dublin remains the epicentre of the disease in Ireland, with a staggering 12,042 confirmed cases.
It comes after two more people died and 66 new cases of Covid-19 were confirmed in the Republic of Ireland on Monday evening.
The latest figures bring the total number of deaths here to 1,652 and the total number of cases confirmed to 24,990.
The Department of Health announced the figures on Sunday evening.
