It comes as Taoiseach Leo Varadkar warned the peak of the virus is still ahead.
In his Easter message on Twitter, Mr Varadkar thanked everyone involved for slowing the spread of the virus.
But he warned: "We cannot lose focus, we cannot lessen our efforts - in fact we need to redouble them in the next few weeks".
"It's more important than ever that we persevere."
On the virus peak, he said: "It's possible that we haven't seen the peak yet - and when it comes, perhaps later this month, we will experience some of our darkest days.
"So we need to maintain our disciple and resolve in the knowledge that better days are to come".
Earlier he said he was "optimistic" that coronavirus restrictions can start to be eased in May.
But he said there is a risk they could have to be re-introduced, if the virus starts spreading again.
Mr Varadkar said: "Because the curve is flattening - it hasn't flattened enough yet - but because the curve is flattening I am certainly hopeful and optimistic that we'll be able to start to under-wind the restrictions starting in May and throughout the course of the summer.
"Now I can't guarantee that.
"Our best guess is that we're not yet past the peak, but we will peak sometime in April - around the middle of April.
"And after that we may see the number of new cases falling off".
