The Chief Medical Officer has been on leave since July.
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tony Holohan is expected to return to his role next week.
According to sources reported by The Irish Times, Dr. Holohan is expected to make his return on Monday, October 5.

Deputy chief officer Dr. Ronan Glynn has been serving as Acting Chief Medical Officer for the past few months.

NPHET are expected to meet today to discuss any potential further localised restrictions around the country, with special attention currently being given to Cork, Galway, Monaghan, and Roscommon.
