Ireland 'will be unaffected' by new UK travel rules

Passengers arriving to the UK have been told that from 4am on Tuesday they will have to take a PCR test for Covid-19, with the expectation they will have to self-isolate until they test negative.

Simon Coveney has confirmed that the UK’s new travel measures will not apply to Ireland.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs said that the measures will not apply to the common travel area.
