Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Covid Testing for International Travel into and out of Ireland: Discussion

Ms Oonagh Buckley:

The Chair will find that from now GNIB will perform the immigration control at all ports of entry. We have grand plans to roll out civilianisation to those border checkpoints in the future, but we are not there yet. As yet, we do not have the statistics from An Garda Síochána as to the level of detection for incoming passengers in the various other airports. It is worth pointing out that well over 90% of incoming passengers land at Dublin Airport. More than nine out of ten passengers who land into any port of entry in Ireland come through Dublin Airport.
