The Government is to consider adding a hotel in Rosslare, Co Wexford to its facilities for mandatory hotel quarantining. It would provide capacity for those arriving on ferries to Rosslare Port, which are predominantly coming from France.
Yesterday, ministers agreed to add 16 countries to the mandatory hotel quarantine list. A number of EU countries, including France, Belgium and Italy were added to the list following an incorporeal Cabinet meeting last night.
The US and Canada have also been added to the list, subject to enough capacity being in place. Anyone arriving from these countries from 4am next Thursday morning will have to quarantine in a hotel for 12 days.
