Mandatory quarantine
Elsewhere, the Dáil has voted in favour of new laws to allow for the enforcement of mandatory hotel quarantine for arrivals from 20 high-risk countries.
Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly indicated the list of countries may be expanded on the advice of Nphet, with the Government able to add countries at its discretion.
Opposition parties attempted to amend the new laws in order to extend the two-week mandatory quarantine period to all passengers arriving into Ireland for non-essential reasons.
Yesterday, Mr Donnelly confirmed approximately 10,500 people arrived in Ireland through Dublin Airport last week, with between 1,000 and 3,500 people arriving in the country each day, he told the Dáil.
