Amharc ar fhreagraAs you are no doubt aware, the Department of Health is the lead Government Department in relation to public health matters, including COVID-19 and also measures taken at ports and airports in relation to arriving passengers.
Measures to protect public health are recommended by the National Emergency Public Health Team (NPHET) within the Department of Health, and my Department and its agencies follow the government's public health advice.
All queries in relation to public health should therefore be directed to the Department of Health.
