Lawyers for the Minister for Health have told the High Court that Irish citizens travelling abroad for surrogacy will be exempt from having to quarantine in a hotel when they return to Ireland.
They will have to quarantine at home and abide by all other public health regulations but will not have to stay in a hotel. The development came this morning in the case of an Irish couple and their baby, born by a surrogate in Ukraine, who are trying to travel back to Ireland this weekend.
The court was told the minister was committing to making regulations as soon as possible that would exempt them from hotel quarantine.
