Minister for Transport Eamon Ryan has confirmed the State’s “green list” of countries deemed safe for travel will not come into effect until after July 20th. “A so-called green list ... will be published on July 20th, or prior to that,” Mr Ryan said in an interview with Newstalk radio on Sunday. “The green list will be operating after that” date, he said. The Green Party leader said the Government would drop the quarantine for countries that had infection rates “similar if not better than our own”. Mr Ryan said that the Government was considering “a certain element of testing” for Covid-19 at airports, but that every visitor would not be tested.
