Carrick on Shannon Chamber of Commerce is appealing to people based in Dublin to stay away until Level 3 restrictions are lifted.
Chief Executive Paul O'Brien says case numbers in Leitrim have stabilised over the past number of days and they want to do their best to keep it that way.
He said that while there was huge traffic in Carrick-on-Shannon over the weekend, he believes a lot of it was passing through to head further west.

Paul O'Brien was speaking on this morning's Joe Finnegan Show:
