Written answers

Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport

The Government considered the matter of international travel at a meeting on 6 July. The current Department of Health regulations concerning mandatory completion of a passenger location form for arriving passengers and a requirement of 14-day self-isolation are to continue until 20 July when the matter will be reviewed again.
