Ms Oonagh Buckley:

I will have to defer to colleagues around subsequent testing. What occurs when somebody is detected by the immigration staff is that they are referred on to An Garda Síochána who will then take a statement from them, because at that point they may have committed an offence. It is a penal provision to arrive in Ireland without a negative PCR or antigen test, so they are now in the trap of being prosecuted for a criminal offence.
