Restrictions on those travelling, entering into Ireland, are also most likely to remain in place until the middle of next year, an Taoiseach Mr Micheál Martin has stated.

The need for people to self-isolate on their arrival into our Republic, will most likely continue until well into next year and could be dependent on the development of a vaccine or at least better therapeutics, he confirmed.
