Lack of capacity in mandatory quarantine due to airline failures, says Donnelly 

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly said he would not “apologise to anyone for putting in place measures that are designed to keep people living in Ireland safe.” 

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has blamed airlines for the lack of capacity in mandatory hotel quarantine.

The Department of Health has paused taking bookings at mandatory quarantine hotels due to a lack of available rooms, but the issue is down to airlines not enforcing “legal requirements,” rather than a lack of foresight by the Government he said.
