Dr. Tony Holohan:

We think we will have to have arrangements in place that can make that as safe as possible. That goes in two directions. One is in respect of the arrangements the Government has implemented by virtue of its implementation of the European arrangements. That is work that is happening at the moment. The other is advice we give to people who are intending travellers. At the moment that advice is that if one is thinking about non-essential travel, do not do it. That is very clear. We are advising against non-essential travel on public health grounds. If we think that can change, we will make that advice available. If people are travelling - there are people who travel for essential purposes - there is advice and guidance we can give them about how they can minimise their risks and how they should seek to understand and comply with the public health advice that is in place at any point in time in whatever country they find themselves in, whether it is Irish people travelling abroad for essential reasons and then having to come back or people who are travelling here for essential reasons to provide essential services in this country. That is happening and people are providing us with essential goods and services that we can only have by means of people continuing to provide those from outside of this country. We give advice on all those things and we will continue to do so.
