No cases of Ebola in Ireland – HSE

It was reported the isolation unit at the Mater was being prepared for the arrival of a patient suspected to have the disease.

However in a statement this morning the HSE says the unit is used for a variety of infectious diseases.

World wide figures show the disease has killed more than one-thousand-people – with almost two-thousand confirmed cases.

However the HSE says there are no confirmed or suspected cases here.
