An infectious diseases expert has warned of a common illness that is due back in Ireland ‘with a vengeance’ after being relatively absent for a number of years.
Professor Sam McConkey says there have been relatively low numbers of influenza cases here and says there are fears it will be back with a bang between December and March.
Speaking to Newstalk Breakfast, Mr McConkey said: "I fear that we could be hit with very bad influenza sometime between December and March."
