It a considerable improvement on the figure of 74 recorded the week previous, and just a shadow of the figure of 282 reported this time last month.

But it's still one of the highest in the country.

The latest figures show Dublin had the highest number of outbreak-related cases by a wide margin at 90, followed by Donegal at 56, and Galway just a hair behind at 55.

Elsewhere, in counties Laois, Cavan and Monaghan, there were no cases linked to outbreaks.
