Ms Elizabeth Canavan:

Unfortunately, given the range of countries and the volatility of the situation we cannot give that information all day, every day. It really does depend on what the countries are doing. What we have done on our landing page on gov.ie/travel, is provided a link to the website of the Department of Foreign Affairs, which has the top ten destinations with as much up-to-date information as possible on the requirements for those countries. We have attempted to filter out information on the most popular places but the most up-to-date information on any given day on the destination a person is travelling to is on the reopen.europa.eu website. It is really easy to use. One puts in the country one is travelling to and where one is coming from and it explains the rules at both ends. The best advice we can give to people is to check that before they travel, as they are making their plans and right before they depart, because rules are changing. The digital Covid certificate requirements are one thing but people must separately also check whether quarantine, testing or other requirements may change in different countries. All we can do is make sure that people understand that information is available, it is being updated in real time and it is their safest bet to check those resources online before they travel.
