The Health Service Executive has said a highly suspect measles case has been notified to the Department of Public Health, HSE West and North West and is currently under investigation.
The HSE said members of the public may have been exposed to measles while travelling for 15 minutes or more in carriage D on the Dublin Connolly-Sligo train that departed Dublin at 5.05pm on 28 Friday March last.
It said that if someone travelled on this train for 15 minutes or more, it is especially important to be aware of the signs and symptoms of measles, which include cold-like symptoms, sore red eyes, a temperature of 38C or above, or a rash which usually appears on head and neck first and spreads to rest of body.
Anyone who has these symptoms and is concerned it may be measles, is advised to tell their GP.
