The H1N1 virus was found for the most part to be the cause of an outbreak of illness among pupils at Laragh National School in Co Cavan, the HSE said last night. Eighteen pupils out of a total of 108 were reported to have influenza-like illnesses at the school, which remains open. Laboratory tests were carried out and a number of cases have been confirmed as be- ing the H1N1 virus. Concerns about the virus came to light when a number of children presented in recent days with symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, head- ache, body aches and fatigue. The school has written to parents informing them of the situation and says any child who is sick will be sent home. Dr Peter Finnegan, specialist in public health medicine, said the HSE was working closely with the school and that parents were being advised to keep sick children at home. Based on advice from the HSE Public Health Department, a decision was made by the school principal that the school would continue to function as normal, the HSE said. More than 800 swine flu cases have been con- firmed in Ireland since the outbreak began, with 80 per cent of those affecting people under the age of 35. Two people have died. The HSEs 24-hour flu information line is availa- ble on freephone 1800 941 100. A SECTION of the Dublin to Belfast rail line near Malahide, which fell into the Broadmeadow Estuary last month, will be fully operational by the end of November, Irish Rail has said. Iarnrd ireann spokesman Barry Kenny said the structure will be fully rebuilt, strengthened and independently tested within the companys original three-month timeframe. But, he said, an internal review into what went wrong would not be completed before services resume. Extra measures would, however, be put in place to monitor the bridge after it re-opens, he said. It is suspected seabed erosion, caused by low tides and heavy rains, was to blame for the collapse.
