Mr. Donal Moriarty:

I am aware that there is some contact. We need to remember that Ireland is not in the Schengen area, so we have a slightly different regime with respect to traffic between Ireland and the US. There needs to be bilateral engagement, therefore, between the Irish Government and the US authorities to establish a safe travel corridor. The basis for doing so is similar to the one I outlined earlier, based upon a pre-departure test regime that facilitates traffic. Ireland is somewhat uniquely positioned to benefit from the relationships we have with the US. We have customs and border protection, CBP, facilities in Dublin and Shannon airports and that gives us a significant advantage in being able to have these safety and health technical conversations with the US authorities.
