I propose to take Questions Nos. 754, 789, 898, 916 and 970 together.

Under the current international travel policies, all travellers arriving into Ireland from overseas, with limited exemptions, are required to observe the mandatory testing and quarantine regimes.

It is not yet understood whether available vaccines prevent vaccinated persons from transmitting the disease to others. As such, the impact vaccinations will have on travel policies internationally is yet to be determined.

The Government gives continuing consideration to travel policy informed by the epidemiological situation internationally and public health advice.
