Question:

33. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade his views on whether in the context of the threat posed by the spread of Covid-19, US soldiers transiting through Shannon Airport should be prohibited from entering the terminal building at Shannon by which they spend a significant length of time in close contact with airport employees and other civilian air passengers in the duty free and airport restaurant areas; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport is working to ensure all relevant guidance and protocols from public health authorities are fully taken into account at all airports, including Shannon, and I defer to them on this question.
