The Minister of State gave a comprehensive answer on vaccines but there is one thing on which I am unclear. I apologise if I missed it. I refer to the Sinopharm vaccine with which many Irish teachers working in the Middle East, for instance, have been fully vaccinated.

What is the situation if they want to come home? Did the Minister of State indicate that they will not be able to come back? If they do come back, must they quarantine in a hotel for two weeks at their own expense? What is the situation in this regard, just to be clear? I am sorry if what I am saying is misleading.
