Ireland is moving away from the previous system of a Green List, which identified a select number of countries that individuals could travel from without needing to restrict their movement upon arriving in Ireland, to an EU-wide travel policy that will use a traffic light system to indicate how safe a country is to travel to.
He said that we need to “ramp up” antigen tests and that they would be a “game changer” for the travel industry. Hackett criticised the EU policy to adopt a traffic light system for permitting travel between countries.
And open a few more graves as well
The age of global travel is over.
Is he actually in the same Govt as the one that's getting advice from NPHET? The tracing system is overwhelmed and this fool wants to open up everything... Just as Europe is closing down?
“Come fly with me. Let’s fly, let fly away” No chance !!!
People spread COVID, tourism spreads it further
Advice given to place country in level 5 lockdown and this clown wants the travel industry opened. Do they not all talk to each other in government? Seems not.
Have a chat with his colleagues in government so ,and explain to the public, how its illegal to visit your elderly relatives , but have the international travel allowed ? It's trying to square a circle , can't be done.
