Can we have some fcuking control on the airports from high risk countries please?

Maybe in Cork, but in Dublin it's not the case. PCR and passenger locator form receipt were being checked and a brief glance at passport and that was it. No one was having their passport scanned or the stamps checked (fairly easy way to see if you have recently left Dubai/Turkey etc).

When did they arrive in Spain?

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

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

When they ran out of tourists.

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

That is not the point and as it happens, it was not half empty as you describe, it was quite busy albeit I'll grant you it was at a time of a number of flights departing.

It's relaxing that got us partly into a mess in the first place, but again, a quite airport is absolutely no excuse and dare I say a good time to be actually implementing and testing rules of travel are being adhered too.

An entirely seperate matter but I get your point

Glad to hear it, honestly I'm not sure about the Kids testing requirements, i should clarify one child was over 12 and I miss understood, it was one that required a test not two, my mistake and apologies.

The fact remains however two families I know personally on the same flights and destinations had zero checks done at Dublin Airport, flight came in last night and they spent a week in the canaries. I've since spoken to another friend who was in mainland Spain two weeks ago and same thing. Whilst it appears checks are random on the Irish side, there's entire flights clearly not being checked and that's a genuine concern.

Yes, as explained in the airport on the canaries a doctor was present at arrivals, the expected checks done, certs, temperature. When my friends showed eldest child's test from Ireland, doctor requested additional checks required, dad escorted child with doctor into side room, she checked temperature and what was described as blood pressure check. When my friend (Dad enquired was the test results from the Dublin not sufficient, doctor's said they've noway to verify such results and take additional precautions. I'm just relaying my friends experience and might add two families on same flight.

Re paperwork checks, yes it's understood border control do this and this happened in Spain, no such checks took place in Dublin on departure or arrival and Airline in Dublin asked no questions which I believe they are required to do.

As other posters have said, it's not something new from their experiences recently , I was just so taken aback on hearing my neighbours experience on their return, particularly given the furore over the covid vacinne certs, call centre fiasco and the Malta incident, I just assumed rigorous checks taking place, clearly they are not.
