Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 3 February 2021
146. Deputy Martin Browne asked the Minister for Transport if travellers coming into the country via ports or airports and who have to restrict their movements will be provided with secure transport from the airport to their residence or accommodation in order not to risk the spread of Covid-19 on public transport. [5960/21]
View answerThe extent to which the public, including arriving passengers, are advised to self-isolate, restrict their movements, adhere to other public health measures or undertake Covid-19 testing, is based on the advice of the public health authorities. My Department assists with the implementation of public health measures in relation to international travel, as decided by Government following relevant advice.
As you know, the Government continues to advise against non-essential international travel and that any essential travel is undertaken with due regard to public health safety measures.
The implementation of Government measures concerning international travel quarantine and supporting regulations are being worked through by the Department of Health in consultation with cross-Departmental colleagues, including the Department of Transport, with updates and further details to be made available on Gov.ie
