Looking at the NPHET cabinet briefing slides I'd presume that highlighted construction outbreak with 116 linked cases is the Intel site which was deemed essential back in January 
The 4101 cases amongst Irish Travellers in the 3rd wave is about 10% of the population, so a rate at least 4-5 times the general population. For 4 weeks Travellers made up over 5% of cases /2
Variant update to the 27th - the missing information here in relation to B1351 is what proportion of the recent 16 are travel related and how many are community in particular of unknown contact. /3
There werea lot of conspiracy theories around the proportion of cases that were hospital acquitted so this is a useful representation of the reality - breakdown into worker or patient would have been handy but where that has been given previously its around 50:50 I think /4
Actually this is given here for the entire pandemic, 5642 cases from hospital outbreaks of which 2424 (43%) were workers. There were 246,633 case reported to Apr24 so the acute hospital infections are 2.3% of total cases but 15% of total deaths /5
One important detail from the CMO to Minister letter is that for Close Contacts at test 2 some 6.7% were positive, presumably in addition to the 14.6% positive at test 1
