THERE are fresh doubts about the prospect of Christmas homecomings at airports as Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan issued a new warning on international travel. He bluntly told the Oireachtas Transport Committee: "The situation at the moment is international travel of a non-essential nature is not safe”. But he said it's "simply not possible" to look forward six weeks to say whether non-essential international travel will be allowed at Christmas. His remarks came in response to a question from Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe on whether international travel will be safe and possible between now and Christmas. "Against this backdrop there is a substantial risk associated with international travel at the current time," he said.
