The HSE said any passenger who is pregnant, immuno-compromised or under 12-months-old should contact a GP or hospital for immediate advice.

Other passengers should be alert for any symptoms such as a cough, sore eyes, high temperature or a rash  until Friday September 6th.

Passengers are advised to ring ahead before attending any healthcare setting to let them know you were exposed - and not to make any further travel arrangements.

Earlier this year, a person died in Ireland after contracting measles.
