    How ? Connecting flights you dont leave the airport so you don't cross the border.
    If a person flies here from the UK they have to quarantine.
    If a person arrives in Northern Ireland they have to quarantine.

    The enforcement is about filling out the form, not enforcing the quarantine.

    If I fly into Belfast there is absolutely nothing to stop me getting into the car and driving back home here.

    Likewise here, you've to fill in the form , it's an offence not to but after that who's going to actually enforce it ? There isn't a hope in hell that the Gardai will be knocking on doors.

    Yeah I get that the enforcement is filling in the form but it's pretty pointless if your not enforcing after that. Someone flies into the country fills in the form, gets a phone call asking if they're in quarantine they say yeah, well sure theres no proof they are or aren't and nothing to stop them going out and about.

    This is all 3 months too late

    So what? The whole point of it is for contact tracing. We know who has come from where and that's literally the point.

    Some questions.

    Why is Tiny Tony not there?

    Why can we not hear the journalists?

    Why are his sleeves rolled up, is he doing manual work?

    Also there are 3 more people in ICU with Covid since Wednesday.

    Sh!t craic. Only scanned the briefings during the week but Philip Nolan was a lot more palatable than this nonsense.

    Can’t hear the questions people are asking Simon. What’s the point of that? Why even bother broadcasting it?

    So then what's the point in saying to them to quarantine if theres no enforcement?

    Do you not think it sounds a bit stupid no ? Heres the form fill it in and if you want to quarantine go ahead if not well what can we do about it.

    If your going to actually do something then back in March they should have implemented something similar but enforceable.

    This is just a laugh

    No I don't think it sounds stupid. The Minister specifically said it's to help contact tracing.

    It's the DoH who organise the briefings, of course.

    According to rte breaking news, the filling out of address form is mandatory .
    And are still asking passengers to self isolate at the provided address.
    The two weeks isolation are not mandatory so in that essence they would not be breaking the common European travel law's.

    If there's nobody entering the country then I don't see what you're giving out about?

    I’m confused about that? If the 2 week isolation is not mandatory, what will the guards be checking?

    The mandatory isolation is not a problem.
    Weather the Garda check or not,it down to trace ability the Garda would only need to assure that you would be staying at the address.
    The problem up to know was some passengers we're not providing details when arriving now they can be traced.

    The new travel restrictions are both a disgrace and a complete joke. We're going backwards while the rest of Europe is moving forwards. Half the people flying into the Republic will say they're on their way to the North to avoid this Draconian idiotic measure.
