The Intensive Care Unit at the Mater Hospital in Dublin has reached capacity.
There are 18 beds in the intensive care unit at the Mater Hospital and as of today, all 18 beds are full.
The hospital says the majority of patients were admitted to ICU with COVID-19 related illnesses.
Patients who have been ventilated are being removed to the High Dependency Unit and other wards are also being made available for critically ill patients.
Dr John Lambert, a consultant in infectious diseases at the Mater says no patient will be turned away.
"We have contingency plans to have additional ICU beds in a non-ICU facility, so this is part of the hopitals preparedness, we've been working on for the past few months".
It comes after the death toll yesterday hit a record daily high of 36 deaths.
