DUBLIN (Reuters) – The Irish parliament is to reconvene on Tuesday evening, ending a brief suspension announced a few hours earlier out of an “abundance of caution” when a minister fell ill, Prime Minister Micheal Martin said.

Government ministers are to restrict their movements while they wait for the results of a COVID-19 test being taken by Health Minister Stephen Donnelly, Martin said in an interview with RTE television.
