You say foreign travel won't realistically be opened up before the end of the year...you do know that you could board a foreign flight, from Dublin, tomorrow if you wanted to?

Vienna Airport wrote: CORONAVIRUS PCR TESTS NOW POSSIBLE AT VIENNA AIRPORT Vienna Airport now offers passengers the possibility to undergo molecular-biological COVID-19 testing (PCR test) at the airport. The test findings are available within a period of about three hours. In contrast to antibody tests, PCR tests are designed to verify the existence of a COVID-19 infection. The results are only valid for the present time. For this reason, the possibility of coming down with the virus at a later time cannot be excluded. WHAT THE ADVANTAGES OF MY BEING TESTED? In accordance with valid government regulations, persons travelling to Austria at the present time must either present a medical certificate which confirms negative COVID-19 test results (PCR test not older than four days), or else they are required to begin a 14-day quarantine. Arriving passengers without a valid medical certificate can get tested at the airport. If the test findings are negative, the passenger does not have to stay in self-quarantine for 14 days after arriving in Austria. In this way, quarantine periods which have already been commenced can also be prematurely terminated. Passengers departing from Vienna Airport can use the medical certificate from the COVID-19 test to prove that they are not infected with the coronavirus.

The number of Covid-19 infections coming from the community is “persistant” and “not falling as much as we would like”, the Department of Health’s chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan has said.

(Various things have been making it hard for me to keep up, including with this discussion). I have things like the gov.ie page bookmarked, but sometimes find it hard to see the wood from the trees there, especially with the wording sometimes being ambiguous or seemingly contradictory. . We're a couple who've been confined to our home as over-70s, and I've got the impression that we may now go for a walk (with the usual distancing etc, of course). Is that correct? And if so, does that include those of us who have a garden? I'm not interested in flouting the rules, or the spirit of them, or finding loopholes in the wording, but if it's a grey area at all I'd welcome any opinions. It's not that I can't do exercises in the garden, or have any problem using technology to keep in touch, or have ever suffered from boredom - it's just that I find walking very good for thinking straight, and changes of view very mentally nourishing. Even going a few minutes up the nearest lane to get a higher viewpoint would be a boost! Also I haven't been paying much attention to guidelines while outside the home, as they've been for other people. I'm only aware of the distancing ones, and permitted distance from home. If I can indeed now go for a walk, is there a limit on how often, or the time I can spend on it?

The aviation industry is worth €4.1bn to the Irish economy along with the leasing sector pulling in €550m alone making it a significant contributor. Trust me, for your sake and mine, I better make that flight. anyways whats the fuss about, this isnt north korea, if airplane flies then you can fly anywhere in the world. Just "cocoon" urself for 2 weeks on ur return. At this stage most economies are very desperate for any tourism, including ours. I will 100% make that flight friend, and you should check out some cheap flight seats too, before they are sold out.
