A court in Co Kerry has been brought to a close after an individual who was involved in a case was notified that they had tested positive for Covid-19 and immediately informed practitioners.
This happened shortly after 1pm at the weekly sitting of Tralee District Court in Ashe Street.
Judge David Waters ordered the court be cleared at once.
Courts Office Manager in Tralee Deirdre Mulcahy confirmed there was a situation and she was dealing urgently with the matter.
Solicitor Padraig O'Connell, who was involved in the case, said the whole situation was "extremely disconcerting.
"We don't know when the court will be sitting again", Mr O'Connell said.
There were fewer than 15 people - the maximum number allowed under the social distancing restrictions - in the courtroom when the positive test result came through.
