Under the current measures, travellers arriving into Ireland from overseas (including from Great Britain) are required to complete a COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form, to present evidence of a negative pre-departure RT-PCR test taken within 72 hours of arrival and to observe mandatory quarantine in line with the requirements as set out in SI 44/2021. When operational, certain categories of travellers will be subject to mandatory hotel quarantine under the Health (Amendment) Act.
SI No. 44/2021 sets out categories of travellers who are not subject to the home quarantine requirement. These include international transport workers including aviation and maritime crew, members of An Garda Síochána or the Defence Forces who travel in the course of their duties and persons who are travelling for unavoidable and time sensitive medical reasons.
