Foreign Affairs Minister says efforts are now being made to bring them home
The two Irish citizens onboard the hantavirus-hit cruise ship are "safe and well" as Foreign Affairs Minister Helen McEntee says efforts are now being made to bring them home.
Meanwhile, protests have broken out in Tenerife ahead of the arrival of the MV Hondius this weekend.
It's expected to dock this Sunday, however passengers on board are reporting having no symptoms.
Protestors have already gathered outside the parliament building, chanting "we want work, not illness."
Passengers must wait for their countries to plan how they will be repatriated, as the UK, France and Spain have organised charter flights for their citizens.
