Another person who contracted Covid-19 abroad before returning to Ireland has died.
It is the sixth 'imported' death in the country since the outbreak began.
The death has been revealed in a recent report from the Health Protection Surveillance Centre.
The fatality occurred between midnight last Wednesday and midnight last Saturday.
It has not been reported what the age of the person was, what gender they were or if they had an underlying condition or not.
The report puts the death under the category "imported cases", which suggests the patient picked up the deadly bug abroad before returning here.
However, it does not state whether the person was Irish or a foreign national.
The report says there have been 430 imported cases in the Republic as of last Saturday night - this figure is lower than the 624 overall infections linked to travel abroad.
In response to a query from the Irish Mirror, a spokeswoman from the Department of Health said: "The Department of Health does not comment on individual cases or deaths from COVID-19, due to our strict policy of respecting patient confidentiality.
"Every death from COVID-19 is a tragedy for the family involved and the Department would like to express condolences to those affected by this pandemic."
