Written answers
All passengers arriving into Ireland from designated States after 4 a.m. on the morning of Friday, 26 March are now required to pre-book accommodation in a designated quarantine facility, and to pre-pay for their stay. Persons arriving from non-designated States and who have had a not-detected PCRE test in the preceding 72 hours will not be required to enter a designated quarantine facility but will still be subject to other public health requirements.
Before travelling to Ireland, persons arriving from designated States or who have been in a designated State in the previous 14 days must, under the law, reserve and pay for a place in mandatory hotel quarantine using an online booking portal for their entire party.
The cost of mandatory hotel quarantine will depend on the number of persons in the arriving party and the number of any additional adults and children involved. F ull details are available on the online booking portal https://www.quarantinehotelsireland.ie/
