Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Public Transport (Resumed)

Mr. Fintan Towey:

There are two. The Chairman is correct that there are people who can travel via those airports to and from the Republic of Ireland. With it being a different jurisdiction, the requirements for the passenger locator form and the follow-up measures will not apply to those travellers. If I understand correctly, the Chairman's question was: having regard to the fact that that possibility exists, should the requirements that apply here, namely the passenger locator form and guidance on restricted movement, be applied? Without having the precise numbers, it is clear that it is still the case that the majority of travel to and from Ireland will take place through Dublin Airport so where virus control is concerned the argument there is evident.
