From the RTE (Irish TV) news website:
Mr Martin has expressed concern following suggestions that the variant may be linked to higher death rates.
The discussion comes as the UK announced that those who contract the more highly transmissible strain have a 30 to 40% greater chance of dying from the disease will strengthen calls for adherence to the public health measures.
The variant already accounts for 62% of Covid-19 cases in Ireland and is becoming even more dominant.
