Another eight staff in a meat plant in Co Tipperary have tested positive for Covid-19.
One case was identified in ABP's processing factory in Cahir last week. The eight new cases have been confirmed after close contacts of that worker were tested.
ABP says it will now begin to test all staff members in the facility.
Meanwhile, a new cluster of Covid-19 has been identified in a direct provision centre in Co Wicklow. It has been detected in the Esplanade Hotel in Bray.
In a letter to asylum-seekers in the centre today, the HSE says all residents will now be tested and they should restrict their movements.
