Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Liam Morris:

At the EU level, there is the integrated political crisis response mechanism. That meets in a steady pattern of about twice a week at the moment to discuss all these measures. There were discussions on the responses that countries have introduced combining testing with quarantine. It was shown that, regarding where Ireland sits in terms of flexibility and openness to travel, compared with other countries we have quite a permissive regime in place. Other countries have mandatory quarantine requirements and stringent penal provisions. That came through in the discussions.
