A second case of Covid-19 has been identified in the Irish prison system.
A 26-year-old male prisoner has tested positive for the virus.
This man was tested for the coronavirus in a Garda station in north Dublin last Friday, as he was showing symptoms of the virus.
He was then brought to Cloverhill Prison in Dublin.
It has now emerged his test came back positive, but he's been in quarantine since he arrived in the jail.
He has not mixed with other prisoners and staff used PPE at all times when dealing with him.
He remains in Cloverhill prison, which currently has 333 inmates.
Last week, a 23-year-old woman in the Dochas Women's Prison became the first prisoner in Ireland to test positive.
An Irish Prison Service spokesman declined to comment.
