Measles on an airplane passenger, the third case in the State.

Bruitíneach ar phaisinéir eitleáin, an tríú cás sa Stát.

The Health Service Executive has confirmed that there is a third case of measles in the State.

Tá sé dearbhaithe ag Feidhmeannacht na Seirbhíse Sláinte go bhfuil an tríú cás den bhruitíneach sa Stát.

It was revealed this afternoon that one of the passengers on a plane that arrived at Dublin Airport last Saturday morning had the disease.

Tugadh le fios tráthnóna go raibh an galar ar dhuine de na paisinéirí a bhí ar eitleán a tháinig go hAerfort Bhaile Átha Cliath ar maidin Dé Sathairn seo caite.

It was an Etihad airline plane that came from Abu Dhabi.

Eitleán le haerlíne Etihad a tháinig ó Abú Daibí a bhí i gceist.

The Executive is now asking some of the passengers who were on that plane to contact the health authorities without delay.

Tá an Fheidhmeannacht anois ag iarraidh ar roinnt de na paisinéirí a bhí ar an eitleán sin teagmháil a dhéanamh leis na húdaráis sláinte gan mhoill.

Passengers who are expecting a child, who is under twelve months old or who have another serious illness are the most worried about them.

Paisinéirí atá ag súil le páiste, atá faoi dhá mhí dhéag nó a bhfuil drochthinneas eile orthu is mó a a bhfuiltear buartha fúthu.

It was announced at the beginning of this month that a measles vaccine was to be offered to more than 300,000 people in the State.

Fógraíodh i dtús na míosa seo go rabhthas le vacsaín in aghaidh na bruitíní a thairiscint do bhreis agus 300,000 duine sa Stát.

It is expected that there will be an outbreak of measles in the country, especially since it was confirmed at the beginning of February that an adult died of the disease in the province of Leinster.

Táthar faiteach go mbeidh ráig bhruitiní sa tír, go háirithe ó deimhníodh i dtús mhí Feabhra gur bhásaigh duine fásta leis an ngalar i gCúige Laighean.
