The details were contained in correspondence from two public health experts published in the latest issue of the Irish Medical Journal. The Dublin South East region includes Carlow, Kilkenny, Waterford, Wexford, east Wicklow, south Tipperary, and south east Dublin.READ MORE: Cost of driving licence, test and NCT recommended to rise as part of Road Safety Authority reform
The authors of the correspondence – experts from the Department of Public Health in the region, and the School of Public Health at University College Cork – said significant challenges had been encountered in dealing with the outbreaks. “However, limited accommodation, logistical challenges, and family circumstances usually precludes this.”
