A second Irish case of swine flu has been confirmed.
The Department of Health's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Tony Holohan said the emergence of this latest case did not come as a surprise.
The H1N1 virus was found in a woman living in the east of the country, who had recently arrived home from New York.
Officials said the woman - described as 'clinically well' - was being kept at home and receiving treatment.
