Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Tony Holohan:

Yes, there has been very good co-operation and there have been examples of that. On the island, we have ended up in circumstances where we are not in control, so those kinds of tracing systems and so on do not work as effectively as they do when there are lower levels of transmission. There are many examples of good co-operation across the Border where sharing of information has led to proper detection, control and so on. In fact, the first case that occurred on the island was in Northern Ireland and involved detailed contact tracing and co-operation between transport and other agencies across the Border, and it worked very well.
