A number of students have been sent home from two Irish colleges in west Donegal with suspected swine flu.
14 students have been sent home from Rannafast college, while it is understood a small number have also been sent home from Coláiste Mhachaire Rabahrtaigh.
There were five suspected cases among students staying in the same house at Rannafast college. The remaining nine students in the house were sent home as a precaution.
The results of tests on the suspected cases are not yet known.
Both colleges remain open and classes are being held as normal.
Coláiste Mhachaire Rabahrtaigh has two weeks of its course left, while Rannafast will be finished this Sunday.
300 students were sent home from Loughanure college in Donegal on Saturday following 11 confirmed cases and a further 140 showing symptoms.
Meanwhile Minister for Children Barry Andrews says that as a society we should not overreact to swine flu.
Mr Andrews said it can be passed on like any other flu and stressed that the main message was to maintain hand hygiene and to dispose of anything you have used if you have symptoms.
He said it was also important not to present to GP surgeries unless you have serious underlying medical conditions.
Reacting to research published in the British Medical Journal which claims that Tamiflu and Relenza are unlikely to help children who catch the H1N1 virus and may cause more serious side effects.
Minister Andrews said there are potential side effects to any prescribed drug but he said none of these will ever be given to a patient unless prescribed by a GP.
The first death In Ireland from Influenza A (H1N1) was on Friday when an 18-year-old woman, who had cystic fibrosis, died from the illness.
