Dublin City Council has praised the efforts of the public in observing public health guidelines.
The council has shared images of the streets in the capital that are usually packed looking completely deserted on Monday.
Dublin City Council took to Twitter to show how few people were out and about on O'Connell Street, Grafton Street, College Green and Dame Street.
A council spokesperson said: "Thanks to everyone taking Govt restrictions seriously. For those who have to travel in the city ensure you obey traffic regs, speed limits & watch for vulnerable road users. By everyone travelling safely we can prevent accidents & not add to the load of the emergency services."
