[ad_1]

The Irish cabinet has been told to self-isolate and parliament has been suspended for a week after a minister fell ill.

“Arising out of events today, the cabinet must now self-isolate, therefore the possibility of proceeding with business does not arise and the house stands adjourned until Tuesday next or until I am directed [by the prime minister],” the speaker of the lower house, Seán ÓFearghaíl, told parliament.

State broadcaster RTE reported that the health minister, Stephen Donnelly, had requested a Covid-19 test on Tuesday afternoon. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

More details soon …
