    The travel forum has a resident "don't listen to the government/nphet/Gardai" and travel anyway" expert". He's been encouraging people to break the rules for months now and sharing how he does it. While it understand this kind of thing is ok on the Covid forum, surely it's not ok in Travel?

    OP, I've had a look at your reported posts and can see the user you are referring to. It's possible one of the CMods will respond here, but if not I'll have a look when I get chance

    Thank you. It's incredibly frustrating. I had a very special trip to the UK booked for late June and today we learned we can't travel there until mid July despite the government saying last week the travel corridor will open soon. I've no doubt that same poster will be boasting about breaking the rules again before the weekend is out.

    I am awaiting feedback from local mods. but am also prepared to act directly if required as it could be seen as encouraging others to break the law which is against site rules.

    In the absence of further comment from the mods I've just dealt with this and banned the user from the Travel forum

    Thank you so much. Travel mods not very visible or active from what I've noticed. It used to be one of my favourite forums.

    If you have issues going forward there's no harm in dropping the local mods a PM. Then you can go to the CMods, or even feel free to drop me a PM if you feel things are not being dealt with appropriately
