Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion

Mr. Ivan Bassato:

That is our understanding and we do not have restrictions for non-essential travel within Europe. We never had, because we are part of the Schengen area. Internal borders are not restricted based on essential or non-essential travel. We never had that restriction. We have a quarantine requirement of five days and then a release test after that. We understand from statements by public officials that this will be changed.
