Poll: Are you planning on travelling abroad this year?

The advice against non-essential international travel is no longer in place.

FROM TODAY, THE government advice against non-essential travel is no longer in force.

Ireland today joins the rest of the European Union in rolling out the Digital Covid Certificate (DCC). 

The DCC is a standardised EU system which shows that the holder satisfies one or more of three categories to exempt them from quarantine:

  • That they been vaccinated
  • That they have recovered from Covid-19 in the preceding six months
  • They have had a recent negative Covid test

So, today we want to know… Are you planning on travelling abroad this year? 


Poll Results:

No (8763)
Yes, I've booked a holiday (4025)
Yes, but I haven't booked anything yet (2457)
I'm not sure (1008)
Yes, but it's an essential trip (679)

    We live in an age of violence, gossipers and liars. So anything can happen from anything and this tells you whoever is caught for it will blame drugs or drink and that seems to work? Strange time indeed?
