Quiz: Can you tell which Green List country this is?

Greenland or San Marino?

THE GOVERNMENT’S GREEN List of countries-you-can-travel-to-even-though-you’re-advised-not-to-travel-abroad was perhaps best summed up by Tánaiste Leo Varadkar last week. 

He said “it may not be simple but it is very straightforward”.

Despite the confusion around it, in practice it means that people travelling from the 15 countries and territories on the list do not need to restrict their movements when they come back to Ireland, as is the case with everywhere else abroad.

But can you tell which of the Green List countries are pictured below? Best of luck.

    The defence forces could have retained the personnel that they lost through stupidity on their own behalf in not granting these personnel with an extra €20 in tech pay which they were value for money so the same were head hunted by private companies.

    @Noel O’Neill: €20 a week. You think people are leaving over €20 a week?
    A CIS technician can be on as low as 40k in the DF, while their counterparts in private sector are getting 80k plus.
    €20 a week…. That gave me a giggle….

    It only takes one rogue machine to bring a whole network down. As long as the antvirus software is kept continuously up to date, systems shouldn’t be compromised.

    @Mike Dunne: Seriously you think anti virus works like that. It is a game of cat and mouse.
    You cant have an antivirus program that stops a virus it does not know. Hence the updates.
