TWO men have died in the first recorded deaths from swine flu so far this year.
It brings to 24 the total number of people who have died from the virus in Ireland.
The men, who were both from the east of the country and had underlying medical conditions, died last week.
They were the first deaths from the H1N1 virus since December and coincide with a slight increase in infections.
There was a sharp fall in the number of cases of swine flu at the start of the year. However, it is on the rise again.
The rate of flu-like illnesses last week was running at 8.8 people per 100,000 of the population, up from 7.3 a week earlier.
