With regard to the Deputy's query about a schedule of outbound and inbound international flights at certain airports, I refer the Deputy to my colleague the Minister for Transport's response to your Question 73 of 24 March 2021. The Department of Health does not have a function in keeping a schedule of outbound and inbound international flights.
With limited exemptions, passengers arriving to Ireland are required to complete a COVID-19 Passenger Locator Form. Passengers arriving to the main ports or airports, which are listed in SI 45/2021, are required to present an Passenger Locator Form electronic receipt or a paper form to immigration officers.
The ports of entry referenced by the Deputy are not listed in the SI. In such cases, passengers arriving at smaller ports of entry are obliged to complete an electronic Passenger Locator Form and select “other” as their place of arrival.
Between 1 and 18 March 2021, 398 passengers recorded "other" on their Passenger Locator Form. Operational statistics on PLF activity are not disaggregated by place of arrival and as such it is not possible to provide a breakdown of the number of follow-up calls made in respect of these.
