Hotel quarantine for high-risk travellers to be in place by mid-February, Taoiseach says | JOE.ie

There has been criticism in recent days regarding the speed of the roll out of hotel quarantining facilities but Martin said he didn't believe the measure was taking too long and would be broadly in line with the UK timeline.

“The mandatory quarantining in terms of the hotel facilities, is the next stage and work is already underway in relation to that.” Martin said the emergence of the Covid-19 variants had"changed the landscape" and said there is a real effort to suppress the virus by rolling out the vaccine. “We do accept that the variants have changed the landscape in relation to this virus, very significantly, and we are in a race, in respect of rolling out the vaccination program, the prolonged suppression of the virus itself, and reducing all potential for its spread,” he said.

Half arsed measure ! These clowns haven’t an idea what to do.

Taoiseach cites legal reasons for not implementing hotel quarantine for all arrivalsThere are 'compelling legal reasons' why the Government cannot implement a system of mandatory hotel quarantining for all incoming passengers, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said My understanding is daa is semi state, could be wrong. How about if the government charged dublin airport the 500€ for every person coming in or out. In turn the daa charges the airline and the airline charges the passenger. Very good!!! Sure, that law would be difficult, but the closing of an economy and society was easy.
