Just one in every 20 overseas passengers who have arrived in the State via Dublin Airport since the start of July has been spoken to by officials to check they intend to adhere to the 14-day Covid-19 quarantine rule. Any newly arrived passengers found not to be staying at the address they gave can be regarded as having filled out the form inaccurately and prosecuted. Newly arrived passengers can be exempt from completing the form if they are transiting to the North or plan to spend less than two days in the Republic. Up until the end of June almost all passengers who arrived in the Republic were contacted by the BMU, on behalf of the health authorities. “If a person arrives into Ireland, they will be legally obliged to fill out this form, regardless of their nationality,” the Department said.
