Interpretive Summary: We report the first complete Bovine coronavirus genome sequences from Ireland. These Bovine coronavirus sequences were from nasal swabs collected during a bovine respiratory disease outbreak among recently purchased beef and dairy calves.

Technical Abstract: We report 24 bovine coronavirus (BCoV) genome sequences from Ireland. BCoV was sequenced directly from nasal swabs that had been collected during a bovine respiratory disease (BRD) outbreak among recently purchased beef suckler and pre-weaned dairy calves.
