The Government decided on 18 August that there would be no change to the current travel advisory pending a review of the international situation. The public health advice remains that the safest thing to do is to avoid non-essential travel at the current time.

Anyone arriving to Ireland from locations on the “green list” is not be expected to restrict their movements. Passengers arriving from any other location are asked to restrict their movements for 14 days. Passengers arriving to Ireland are required to complete a COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form.
