Written answers

As the Deputy will be aware, the Government announced last week that it will be obligatory for passengers arriving from overseas to complete a COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form.

The regulations will be signed by my colleague, Minister Harris, and will come into effect from Thursday, May 28th. They will remain in effect until 18 June 2020, when they will be reviewed.

The Government continues to advise Irish citizens and residents against all non-essential international travel, and passengers arriving into Ireland from outside of the island of Ireland are asked to self-isolate for 14 days.
