There have now been 243,911 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Ireland (gov.ie, 19th April 2021).

Common long COVID symptoms include:

-extreme tiredness (fatigue)
-shortness of breath
-chest pain or tightness
-problems with memory and concentration ("brain fog")
-difficulty sleeping (insomnia)
-heart palpitations
-dizziness
-pins and needles
-joint pain
-depression and anxiety
-tinnitus, earaches
-rashes

If you had COVID 19 and have any/some of these symptoms, then you may have long COVID. If symptoms persist beyond 4 weeks since diagnosis, you may want to discuss with your GP or sooner if you feel it is required.
