Ten confirmed cases of measles in Ireland with further 20 under investigation

Concern is high for young people who may have missed out following a now-discredited vaccine scare in the late 1990s.

There are now 10 confirmed cases of measles in Ireland and four of those are linked to the same outbreak, the Health Protection Surveillance Centre said.

A further 20 cases are under investigation, up from just 10 earlier this week, health officials have said.
