Written answers

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

Outward international travel by students is subject to the same guidelines covering travel as generally apply. These are set out on the Government's website at: https://www.gov.ie/en/campaigns/75d92-covid-19-travel-advice/.

In general, matters relating to healthcare, including entitlements of EU nationals to healthcare in another Member State, and the vaccination programme are matters for the Minister for Health.
