Passengers travelling to Ireland from Germany will not require negative Covid test, says Coveney

"Just because Germany are doing something that impacts on travel from Ireland to Germany doesn't mean that we just reciprocate," said Simon Coveney.

Passengers flying from Ireland to Germany will require a negative Covid test.

Passengers flying to Ireland from Germany will not require a negative Covid test, the Minister for Foreign Affairs says, despite Germany requiring the same for those coming from Ireland.

Simon Coveney told Pat Kenny on Newstalk today that Ireland would only be requiring the negative tests for those from the UK for now and said that the German decision to require a negative test within 72 hours was "not a tit for tat" situation.
