Deputy Ó Murchú touched on this issue earlier. Are our guests aware of people, such as Irish people coming back from a holiday abroad, who have suddenly picked up the virus? Obviously, travellers must have a negative PCR or antigen test 72 hours or 48 hours before travelling. It is basically being stated that those people cannot come back home. To the knowledge of Mr. Towey, have there been many Irish people who were abroad and trying to come home but had to self-isolate abroad? Are there many such cases?
