Air travel into Ireland increased by a third over the last week

Over 21,100 people flew into Dublin Airport last week - an increase of over a third on the previous week.

Nearly 12,000 were Irish residents coming home from abroad - up almost 36 per cent.

And over 9,200 were non-Irish residents - an increase of over 35 per cent.

Mandatory hotel quarantine applies to over 50 countries, but Fianna Fáil senator Lisa Chambers welcomes the increase in arrivals.
