Ireland's first coronavirus patient is from the eastern part of country and had travelled from the affected area in northern Italy

They discussed the situation regarding the virus on the island of Ireland, and also internationally, and noted the good co-operation in place between authorities north and south of the Border.

On Saturday the NI Public Health Agency said it had received notification from its counterparts in England that the one presumptive case of coronavirus in Northern Ireland had been confirmed by the reference laboratory it was sent to.

WHO states testing at airports is not effective and therefore not recommended.

The self isolating Paddy, just popping out for an hour to watch the dubs, be straight back after.

FineGael won’t ban or slow down travel into the country so the ‘poor refugees’ can keep flowing in for them..

“We won’t close the borders as that’s not what the EU do” the dope said So the money making mass immigration policy of the EU is more important than the health of our citizens In another era, he would be getting put up against a wall for being a traitor

If govt had given good advice we’d all be collecting our contacts ....

Where are the travel bans and precaution measurements? Obviously worked on China. Now they are all not applicable anymore? Hypocrisy.

Too late SimonHarrisTD theres going to be 1000s of deaths because of you. You've ignored pleas for weeks to close the airports.

It’s an island second confirmed case for not responding fast enough, to restrict travel to infected area’s.

Were they on the same flight as the nordie

If the Government had copied Trump this would not have happpened.

Send them leaflets. ☹️🙈

Wudnt have happened if you were doing the checks at the airport for them planes coming in from Italy,like the rest of the world,always the same bull after the fact..... HSE COCK UP......

Hse immediately collapses at first mention of infection, it appears consultants dont have enough posters and leaflets on hand to deal with the crisis!

Can we not control it with a tax like we do with climate change, income inequality and substance addiction?

Er, he’s not the first. He is the known first Statistically, there are already hundreds, if not thousands, in Ireland. Harris would do better staying at home; he has a major underlying health problem.

Efforts include such wastes of time and money as leaflets and posters!! Cause everybody knows that knowledge is power! Except when knowing about the obvious only has the effect of causing confusion concern and rampant hand washing!

Dustin the turkey

I see 4 more flights are due in from Milan tomorrow. .

We’ve known about this virus for weeks now why was the airport and ports not taking peoples temperatures before they were allowed travel thru

It's a criminal act to put the airline workers in danger knowing that there is a risk to their health.

This would be Ireland's second corona virus patient

Never mind the feckin coronavirus . Its snowing and I've no bloody bread in! I'm doomed, feckin doomed I tell you..also ive run out of beer!

Gobshites haven’t a clue .. disinfectant sand bags in the 80,s is not the same as a 2020 interracial environment

Nope... the first in Ireland was from Antrim.

Ok be more specific ...is this person self quarantined or in a medical facility -and more importantly who have they been in contact with and where are they from..

Its driving me mad the secrecy behind who what where when with the reports. Its nonsense!! Where for gods sake is the person living in the northeast. Where have they been in the northeast? Feck sake, cop on and give the information.

The truth is the hospital's can't and won't cope with an influx of people with this virus rte SimonHarrisTD LeoVaradkar

Did he win a prize?

Can we now review protocols in the airports although most likely too late so just follow the medical advice.

So do we just turn up at a&e if we think we have this thing

Eastern part? Just say Dublin!

Looks like those leaflets being handed out at Dublin airport didn't work, hey Simon?
