Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government continues to advise against non-essential international travel and that essential travel is undertaken with due regard to public health safety measures. The Government have announced a numbers of measures in relation to international travel to protect against the spread of Covid-19, including pre-Departure RT-PCR testing and quarantine requirements.
