Ryanair group chief executive Michael O'Leary has called for the removal of "ineffective quarantine measures" and said that by wearing facemasks Irish people can safely "go back flying" from July.
Michael O'Leary said that imposing a quarantine from tomorrow at airports and ports is "simply political game playing". He added that Ireland is emerging much more slowly from the health crisis than other European countries.
Mr O'Leary told Morning Ireland that Ryanair will be flying from July 1 to Spain, Italy and other European destinations. The airline's decision is based on advice from the European Centre for Disease Control and the European Safety Agency, who support the resumption of airline business with the use of facemasks, he stated.
