Written answers

There is a legal requirement on passengers arriving into Ireland to complete the passenger locator form.

There have been six incidences (totalling 11 persons) reported whereby incoming passengers have refused to complete the COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form as of 18 November.

The minority of incoming passengers who do not comply with the requirement, and any failures or refusals to complete a passenger locator form are referred to An Garda Síochána for engagement and any necessary enforcement. The table outlines the number of passenger locator forms which were completed correctly and where the data on the form was not completed correctly due to the information being invalid or illegible.
