Ms Elizabeth Canavan:

The Deputy's second issue was around people who had travelled to Malta. We do not have anyone on the call this morning from the Department of Foreign Affairs but we have been assured that people are getting every assistance that can be given on the ground there. Obviously, I will not comment on individual cases but this situation does very much underline the need for people to check. This is a highly volatile situation worldwide. The rules are available online about what is required. If one looks at the rules for entering Malta, the requirements around the DCC are very clear. They do not accept handwritten certificates. The rules are either being updated on a regular basis by ourselves and by other countries. We would really urge people to check with their destination before they finalise their plans.
