Increase In Non-Residents Arriving Into Ireland In The Last Week

Nearly 4,700 non-Irish residents flew into Dublin Airport last week - an increase of 5 per cent on the previous week.

A total of 10,613 people arrived into the airport last week - a drop of 3 per cent.
Over 5,900 were Irish residents coming home from abroad.
Meanwhile The government's being urged to dramatically increase the number of countries on its quarantine list. Yesterday the Health Minister said he "fully expects" the red list of 33 nations will be expanded, but failed to indicate by how much or when.
Ireland's mandatory hotel quarantine system's now up and running, with the first arrivals due on Friday.
But Social Democrats co-leader, Roisin Shortall, says the government took too long implementing this measure and it still doesn’t go far enough
