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

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

On the health side, as Ms Buckley said, first of all, it is an offence to travel to Ireland without having completed a passenger locator form and without the necessary health documents. As well as any follow up by the Garda, on the health side, a person who arrives without relevant health results is required to immediately self-quarantine and to take a PCR test within 36 hours of arrival. Failure to take that PCR test within 36 hours of arrival is a further offence in law. That is the health follow-up as well.
