Mr. Jim Breslin:

The current Government advice is that there be no non-essential travel overseas. That will be kept under review and it may change. I will not make the decision on that. We input advice that informs the decision-making but I will not make the decision; it will be a Government-wide decision. Just as I will not make the decision, it will not be made purely on public health grounds. It is important, however, that people hear that the advice of the Government is that they do not undertake non-essential travel at the moment. That would include booking or entering into financial arrangements for non-essential travel. Most people are responsible and they think not only about themselves but also about their loved ones, families and so on. There is a risk attaching to travel so if people can avoid it, they should. There will be circumstances where people need to undertake trips. They weigh those things up but, at the moment, the advice is that if the travel is non-essential, it should not be undertaken.
