995. Deputy Paul Murphy asked the Minister for Health if his attention has been drawn to the difficulty faced by Irish citizens who are abroad in obtaining a Covid-19 recovery certificate when they have tested positive while away; and if a plan is in place to ensure these persons can fly home with this certificate as proof of their recovery.

View answerTravellers to Ireland are required to present proof of vaccination, proof of recovery or a relevant test result as evidence of their health status. A relevant test result is a negative RT-PCR test result based on a sample taken within 72 hours of arrival to Ireland or a positive RT-PCR COVID-19 test result taken at between 11 days and 180 days prior to arrival. Depending on the individual's travel history, they may be required to quarantine on arrival.
