Announcements made by An Taoiseach on 23 February confirmed that level 5 restrictions are set to continue until 5 of April, at which point the situation will be reviewed.

As before, Approved Driving Instructors (ADIs) may continue to provide lessons under these restrictions, but only in such circumstances where the learner in question has already been scheduled a test date.
