Irish passengers on a cruise ship remain trapped after the ship was denied entry to Chile.
Twenty holidaymakers and a number of Irish crew are still on the Celebrity Eclipse cruise ship after a passenger on a separate ship tested positive for coronavirus.
About 65 Chilean passengers were allowed to disembark the ship on Wednesday.
Passenger Marc O'Connor told RTE News that despite this the mood on board "was very positive" and a small number even celebrated St Patrick's Day.
He added that the ship has been refuelled and food was brought on board.
It is expected that the ship will travel to San Diego in California and Mr O Connor said he expects to be on board for at least another ten days.
No one on the cruise ship has tested positive for Covid-19.
