Isolate after return from Spain?

lcstress2012

Travelling to Ibiza in august. Only have one dose of Pfizer vaccine done. Will I have to self isolate when coming back to Dublin even with negative pcr?

I was going to post EXACTLY (destination, return, dosage) the same question

DFA and gov websites are a bit of a minefield.

This - https://www.dfa.ie/travel/travel-advice/a-z-list-of-countries/spain/ - leads you to this (when you click the link for returning to ireland from spain) - https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/b4020-travelling-to-ireland-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/

Mandatory quarantine requirements apply to all persons who have been overseas in the 14-days prior to entering Ireland. Arrivals from designated high-risk countries are subject to mandatory hotel quarantine.

Sounds clear that you have to quarantine at home.

One sentence later...

Persons exempt from mandatory hotel quarantine may still be required to quarantine at home.

That "may" gives you a lifeline of sorts - but could be referring to the fact that certain people are exempt; guards, diplomats etc - of which i'm neither.

Also, here: https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/covid19/restricted-movements/how-to-self-isolate/

You do not need to self-isolate if you arrive in Ireland from a country that is not on the high-risk list and have no symptoms. But you may need to restrict your movements.

Quite contradictory to above mentioned :)

If I arrive into Ireland from the EU or EEA

This information includes arrivals from the EEA (the EU plus Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein), Andorra, Monaco, the Holy See, San Marino and Switzerland.

If you arrive into Ireland with an EU Digital COVID Certificate, you do not need to quarantine.

Some exceptions apply:

If your DCC is based on an antigen test, you must have a RT-PCR test taken within 72 hours before your arrival

If you have been in a non-EEA country in the 14 days before arriving in Ireland, you must follow the rules set out in ‘If I arrive into Ireland from outside the EU or EEA’ below.

If you do not have a DCC, you need one of the following to avoid quarantine:

Proof that you are fully vaccinated (see ‘What does fully vaccinated mean?’ above)

Proof that you have recovered from COVID-19 (see ‘What does ‘recovered from COVID-19’ mean’ above)

Proof of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours before your arrival
