HOLIDAY makers will be able to travel to a 'green list' over countries with low coronavirus rates under government plans to ease restrictions on non-essential international travel. In what could be his last press conference as Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar said serving in the role has been "the honour of my life". He said the list of countries is to be produced by July 9 and checks and controls will also be stepped up at ports and airports. He added: "I do need to caution people that that list of countries will be reviewed and it may change every two weeks. However the group, led by Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan, urged the Government to exercise caution when they consider easing the rules on air travel restrictions.
