Will vaccinated Americans be happy to come visit the non vaccinated Ireland?
Vaccinated just means you won’t be badly affected by Covid..... a vaccinated person can still carry Covid-19 and spread it around to others, so let’s not roll out the red carpet just yet ok?
Had flights booked home in July but cancelled last week because Ireland was just going backwards.
RecovAIRie Great news for the people such as tour guides who rely on the international tourist.
That’s right. Let them bring in the virus.
Hey, some of us Canadians are eager to get back to visit Ireland, but you guys need the vaccine just as much as we do. Good luck to you: we know you're suffering just as much as we are... you've just got a more beautiful place to suffer in! Cheers and Sláinte!
How about moving fast to safeguard citizens of this country.
The American Tourist will always travel to embrace the beauty of the four green Fields. Let not price gouging be a deterrent. Irelands beauty must not be exploited for a very short term gain, for that shall be the rock the service industry shall crack. I wish all business success
Jaysus if the Yank tourists are “pent up” what’s the noun to describe us Paddies?
How about the pent up demand of the Irish people for a vaccine?
Yeah it would be nice if they could enjoy our hospitality but Tony has ordered Michael not to allow this and Michael has meekly complied.
The Irish tourist industry really doesn't seem to give two hoots about domestic tourists. We are a more reliable year-long source of revenue, and much more sustainable too. There'll be other volcanoes & pandemics, but we'll still be here willing to spend. dollahs

The Republic will have to get on top of its vaccine roll first.
RecovAIRie Who would want to come here? Ireland of a thousand welcomes? MHQ. No gastronomy, no pampering, no craic. I’d say they’ll give it a miss unless the time changes v quickly.
What about vaccinated EU tourist or family members? AFAIK we are in the EU aren't we?
