Lyons, France (GenevaLunch) - Ireland’s former Taoiseach (prime minister) Garrett FitzGerald, 83, and a group of 20 people, mainly family, staying with him at a chateau in Auvergne, France, have been quarantined as a precaution after several members of the party showed symptoms of flu, reports AFP. The symptoms are reportedly mild and only one person was given Tamiflu as a precautionary measure.
