The Department of Health has announced that a further one person who had previously been diagnosed with Covid-19 has died.
It brings the overall number of the deaths linked to the virus here to 1,650, after the validation of data from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre resulted in the denotification of three deaths.
The department has also announced an additional 77 confirmed cases of the virus, bringing the overall number of cases here to 25,062.
The figures come as the number of patients in hospital with confirmed or suspected cases of Covid-19 continues to reduce, according to the latest figures from the HSE.
The latest figures for the department show that of the 24,985 cases confirmed as of midnight last Saturday, over 13% of cases (3,286) required hospitalisation.
Of these, 408 overall had been admitted to intensive care.
Healthcare workers account for nearly 32% of all cases so far.
The median age of cases is 48, with a split of 57% female, and 43% male.
Dublin has the highest number of cases at 12,052 (48% of all cases) followed by Cork with 1,514 cases (6%) and then Kildare with 1,417 cases (6%).
"We have now had more than 25,000 cases of Covid-19 in Ireland and while 90% of patients have recovered, more than 3,285 people have been hospitalised and sadly 1,650 have died," Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said.
He added: "Covid-19 is a new disease, for which we have no vaccine and we have no cure. As restrictions ease and we begin to resume social and economic life, we must do all we can to prevent a second wave.
"It is vital that we continue to practise hand and cough hygiene and social distancing, with the additional hygiene measure of face coverings in appropriate settings.
"It is important to give space to our vulnerable people when out and about.
"We must continue to do all we can to interrupt the spread of this virus."

Latest coronavirus stories
Latest figures show there are 331 cases of confirmed or suspected coronavirus in hospitals around the country.
The hospitals with the largest number of confirmed cases are the Mater Hospital in Dublin with 44, Tallaght with 27, Galway with 13 and Limerick which has ten.
There are 36 patients in intensive care confirmed as having Covid-19, plus a further 22 suspected of having the virus.
During the peak of Covid-19 in early April there were 160 patients with the virus in ICU.
Hospitals currently have 124 vacant critical care beds, while there are also 1,071 vacant general beds in the acute system.
Meanwhile, a specialist in infectious disease at the Royal College of Surgeons has said he is worried that if widespread travel across Ireland begins, Covid-19 could be spread into those counties on the western seaboard that currently have no cases.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Professor Sam McConkey said that differential reopenings and having different regions with different restrictions could be possible.
He said going from Donegal to Leitrim to Sligo would probably be relatively safe, but going from Dublin to Rosses Point in Co Sligo is not such a good idea and runs the risk of bringing the virus to a region that is currently free of the virus.
Prof McConkey described indoor house parties as a "disaster", adding that he believes having 500 people at a beach is relatively safe because of the warm temperatures and sea breezes, but said that indoor house parties with groups of people that do not live together is "very, very bad at this point".
He said more should be done in terms of re-opening schools and believes primary school children could return fairly soon.
He said he would like to see them return before September and said if schools do not open until then, a phased return would mean it would be November or December before all the children have returned to school, which, he said, would be very destructive.
Professor McConkey also said the low number of new cases are very heartening but it would be helpful to know the breakdown of these cases and how many of them are as a result of unexplained community transmission.
He said it would be worrying if many of them are unexplained and this would mean we do not have the right knowledge of the chains of transmission.
This information should be one of the criteria for when we can start relaxing guidelines, he added.
Around 80% of cases of Covid-19 will be a mild to moderate illness, close to 14% have severe disease and around 6% are critical.
Generally, you need to be 15 minutes or more in the vicinity of an infected person and within 2 metres of them, to be considered at-risk, or a close contact.
