Blanchardstown is now Dublin's Covid hotspot according to latest 14-day incidence rates.
It is only the second time that the incidence rates have been updated this year, after the Omicron wave of Covid-19 made keeping the data up to date all but redundant.
While the incidence rate is far better than it was at the end of 2021, when 30 of 31 Local Election Areas had a higher 14-day incidence rate than the national average, cases have been climbing in recent weeks.
