RTÉ News understands that there have been around 20 cases of coronavirus among approximately 100 residents there since the centre opened just over a month ago.

The centre opened at the former Skellig Star Hotel in the town centre on 18 March. Around 100 people, who are applying for asylum in this country, were moved there from Dublin.

Within a month, a case of coronavirus had been confirmed at the centre. Other cases followed. All residents have now been tested and RTÉ News understands that there have been around 20 confirmed cases there.
