Negative PCR tests now required for overseas arrivals to Ireland

The measures were due to be implemented on Friday, but were delayed by Government.

Anyone arriving into the Republic of Ireland from overseas will now need proof of a negative Covid test.

It must be a professionally taken antigen or PCR test, and came into effect yesterday.

Meanwhile, passengers arriving into Northern Ireland from abroad will be required to take a pre-departure Covid test from 4 o'clock tomorrow morning.

The measure applies to anyone aged 12 and over, including people who have been double vaccinated.
