A third of people arriving in Ireland over the past six weeks refused to give details of where they would be self-isolating.

According to the Irish Independent hundreds of people who flew into Dublin Airport didn't fill in forms detailing where they'd be staying.
The forms asked for information about the address where the person would stay for two weeks after they arrived.
Anyone arriving in Ireland is asked to sign a passenger location form when they arrive at the airport, to stop the spread of Covid-19.
