Why are you telling your boss your private business?

They demand to know and threaten punishments if you don't tell them. The government has been doing the same to public service workers.

Your boss is irrelevant , you never had to do amthing. As per guidelines you need to restrict your movements for 14 days.

Poland has just been added to the Green List. That would mean no need to restrict movements from Monday next.

It will be added from Monday, I'm coming tomorrow, does it not mean that it's for flights arriving from Monday 0:01?

Is restricting movements = not going to work? I can't work from home so can I go to work next week?

Yes you can but the guidelines say you shouldn’t.

Knowing immigration they'd probably say yes. Tough call but I'd argue that if Poland are deemed good enough to go on the list now you're good to go. It's really bureaucracy.

Nope - added on Monday, list announced today, more madness.

Does anyone know what restrictions or actions would have to be taken when arriving in Cyprus from Ireland?

I don't think so, although that was mooted a few months ago. My wife is a nurse and wasn't asked about her holiday destination, either before we went or after she went back to work.

That's strange then, but I guarantee you 100% that other public workers have been asked that.

Several memos from the HSE on the subject. A separate email from our HR department too. And before someone says it's none of their business its cited as a public health issue.

To be fair the application from Monday is at least trying to be fair to people who are in Greece or Italy and flying back before Monday. So I think it is DFA trying to think rationally.

I would love to see the State arguing that in Court particularly given what they have said in the High Court in recent days that it is ‘advisory’ only.

Greece updated their rules today. You need a test now if you're coming from Hungary, but we're still good to go. However, there are a lot of rumours floating about that they're just trying to get as much out of the tourist season as possible before locking down in October.

Yea probably, the weather on the Islands will be Summer time temps until the end of the month... People still travel to Crete and Santorini well into November, but i'd say a lot of hotels will think about closing up shop for the winter by then.. but what is there should be cheap....

Hamburg is a great city. I recommend doing a day trip to Lübeck.

Ryanair don't fly to Bremen anymore from Dublin either. It's only 1 hour from Hamburg by train anyhow.

Make sure you check out "die sündigste Meile" in Hamburg if you go!

People who are anti travelling at this stage are completely bonkers.

According to a lot of people going abroad is a risky business and a source of introduction of the virus into the country, even though any green list countries have by definition 35% or less of our infection rates and countries with 40-50%+ aren't even on our 'safe travel' list.


It's bizarre that Dublin has 4 times more the rates of infection of some of the countries not on our green list yet a lot of people still think that foreigners and people going 'out foreign' are the problem.

there's no change traveling from outside of Dublin direct to Dublin airport?

There are islands in Greece that have not had one case in months and no deaths. I cannot travel there.

I think people seem to assume that you just automatically pick it up on a plane yet for some reason a bus or train in Ireland is grand (even though planes have larger air volumes per person and better filtration).

It's either that or pure xenophobia

Brilliant!

Naples is a wonderful city, often underestimated.
As the Italians say- 'see Naples and then you can die'

Don't forget to go to Pompei and the Amalfi coast.
Sicily is also full of wonderful places.

Enjoy.
