The organisation that manages Dublin and Cork airports will tell politicians today there may be merit in testing passengers for coronavirus before they fly from non-Green List countries to Ireland.
At a hearing of the Oireachtas Committee on Covid-19 Response, executives from the daa will propose pursuing "an evidence-based system" for the countries excluded from the Green List.
The State-owned company will suggest that "passengers are required to undertake a Covid-19 test 72 hours or less before travel and submit proof of a negative test prior to travel".
The daa will welcome the publication of the Green List of countries, where people can fly to and from without the need to restrict movements upon return.
