    I will add that my travel was weeks ago, so maybe things are starting to get more lax now as we're [hopefully] nearing the end of these farcical restrictions.


    As of last week everything the same....

    Just had a few pints here in London (inside!) with a friend of mine heading back to Sydney on Tuesday. Been moving back home over the last few months....family went first and he’s been back in London selling the house and sorting things out.

    He’s really worried, as are his peers, about the Australia end game for Covid. Apparently MHQ is being shelved in return for 7 days home isolation for vaccinated people from 7 July (he’s too early so he’s got to do MHQ). But the quota for inbound arrivals is being halved. There are no seats on any flights for weeks (other than through LA, but you can’t transit through US airports due to their organisation in which arrivals and departures mix in the same area)

    And because a large segment of Australian society don’t travel, don’t care about the border being shut, and are happy just going to NRL matches etc, there is no desire to take vaccines. These people just don’t feel they need to. Australia will never get to the level to vaccination needed, with massive vaccine lethargy / hesitancy, to open borders. And as there are the inevitable breakouts of covid as MHQ is relaxed, there will be more lockdowns

    Meanwhile there are tens of thousands of Australian citizens who can’t get home.

    There strategy might have looked the best for many months. But just shows how right we were to not try to implement it

    Yeah, lol. You are stating clearly that Ireland is literally North Korea. Which is obviously a ridiculous notion, it’s Ireland. But equally ridiculous is the idea that Ireland is operating under a hugely oppressive and murderous dictatorship. It’s insulting to people living in those conditions and very telling about your entitled attitude.

    Were you on social media in your beloved Spain (a country with more than a hint of actual dictatorship history) moaning and getting hysterical about the legal requirement to wear masks outdoors?

    They may learn a bit of cop-on.....

    You’re clearly spoofing with this story to suit your narrative. Spain has had lower rates of covid than Ireland throughout the year. You’ve ignored questions and comments from people on the ground here in Spain about your views.

    Your fabricated story about a group catching covid in Spain with such a convenient timing from when they got it is bonkers

    My own 2 cents on the digital trammel certificate

    Vaccinated people can travel - makes sense, although fully vaccinated is a bit of overkill, 2 weeks after your first vaccine is medically speaking plenty

    People who have recovered from COVID-19 within 9 months - makes sense also, 12 months even should be good

    PCR test 3 days in advance of flying - it's like breathalyzing somebody on the way to the pub and on the off chance you test positive you're now stuck in your holiday destination at potentially great cost

    Not sure how else you'd work it for the unvaccinated though

    2 weeks post positive test they should be able to contact the Irish DFA for assistance should PCR still be showing up as positive.

    I have no idea what kind of holiday this group was enjoying (maybe the original poster said something a few pages back) but "they may learn a bit of cop-on" is a bit harsh without knowing the exact circumstances

    Absolutely not. All true but it doesn't suit you to acknowledge it.

    If you enter Ireland from a red country example Turkey - and are vaccinated - do you still have to quarantine or show a PCR test ?

    firstly, this would be written somewhere online

    secondly, I cant be @rsed googling it, but from memory its a case that you escape the hotel BUT you need to quarantine at home instead.
    You'll also need a PCR test like every other passenger currently entering the state, but this would all be set out on a government website which explains the system

    Just want to add some data regarding travelling to <INSERT_EU_COUNTRY_HERE> (in my case Spain). I've been travelling back and forth all year without problems using PCR but this last time I decided to try my luck using those green vaccination cards from HSE.

    They were accepted both in Dublin by Ryanair stuff and Spanish authorities after landing, I also saw more people doing the same. (before any anti-travel fan says anything I also had my antigen tests ready to show)

    The paper ones that are a bit cardboardy with the handwritten details of your vaccines?

    As the DGC is not mandatory EU leaders agreed to accept each country’s local certificate too.

    I was so concerned with getting in and avoiding mhq, now I am far more concerned with getting out for fear that other countries will redlist Ireland in a couple of weeks. The old pandemic merry-go-round.

    When did hotels change to quarantine facilities?


    If covid is here to stay, isn't it time they work on dedicated facilities for quarantining and isolation? Like they had for tuberculosis.

    I'd also included all the people infected with Covid in Ireland and their close contacts. They should ne isolated in MHQs for 2 weeks. They are driving our community transmition very high. Unfortunately, they'll have to pay for these quarantine facilities themselves.

    Great, these MHQs proved again to be total failure,,

    Gardaí have launched a major investigation after a female member of the Defence Forces was allegedly raped by a male colleague in a quarantine hotel facility.

    The incident is alleged to have happened late on Monday night. Gardaí were alerted to the complaint in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

    Yes because alleged rapes never happened before MHQ was in pace - what a ridiculous comment

    I've stayed away from these coronavirus threads as they became quite heated but have to share this story.

    Just picked up neighbours who had a week in the canaries. Two adults (both vacinated) two kids under 12, both had pcr tests.

    Absolutely and I'm mean absolutely NO checks at Dublin Airport, Zer, Nada, Nothing.

    Arrived in the canaries on a half empty flight.

    Everything checked, certs, temperatures and PCR tests for children, infact, a doctor present and insisted she check (with parent present), Temperature, blood pressure etc of each child. When asked was the PCR tests not acceptable, she said she had no idea who the testing company was and they do additional testing regardless. Very pleasant and professional.

    Before departure home, both children had a second PCR test in the canaries ( €89 per child), confirmed again at Spanish airport along with parents digital certs.

    Arrive in Dublin, not a single check, question, how's your father.

    I'm still in shock, spoke to another family I knew on the same flight and exactly the same experience.

    WTF is going on, all the panic about certs and children having to be tested in advance, this is just shocking.

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.
