It represents the first case of the disease in Ireland this year.
An adult with confirmed measles has died in the Dublin and Midlands Health Region.
The HSE says it’s the first confirmed measles case in the country this year.

The IMT was established in response to a recent rise in measles cases in the UK and Europe.
There were four reported cases of measles last year, two the year prior, none in 2021 and five in 2020.
There were no reported deaths in that time frame.
The HSE offers MMR vaccine to protect against measles to all children as part of its childhood immunisation schedule.
