Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

To the best of my knowledge, the Minister for Health last week and the Oireachtas approved an updated legal basis for mandatory hotel quarantine. The legal basis is in place. I ask Mr. Comiskey to come in, if he knows more. My information is that no hotels are currently operating mandatory hotel quarantine. It is just a part of the measures that are being put in place, should the Government wish to give effect to further protective measures and in this instance, where they might be required in respect of people from Omicron states. There would be a number of days work involved. I understand work is ongoing on the operational aspects, beyond the legislative aspects, of mandatory hotel quarantine. The Government decision was to establish the legal basis, which has been done.
