366. Deputy John Brady asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if checks will be put in place to ensure that US military personnel using Shannon Airport will present PRC checks; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10204/21]
View answerIn our extensive discussions with the US authorities on this subject, I and my officials have emphasised that crew and passengers of military flights are bound to observe public health regulations in exactly the same way as those on civilian flights. The US authorities have given me assurances that they understand this and are fully committed to compliance. The PCR checks applicable at Shannon are the same for military personnel as for any other arrivals.
