All-Ireland travel approach needed, UK advice 'absurd'

Current travel advice from the British government has been criticised by the Alliance Party's Health Spokesperson who said there are massive absurdities around the guidance.

Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland programme, Mr Smith said the country has not "got our house in order" in terms of quarantine and testing and until this is achieved, the idea of any green list is sending the "entirely wrong message and putting all the good work we have achieved as a society at risk".

Mr Smith warned if we get it wrong "there will be no autumn or winter or spring 2021" for businesses. However, she told Morning Ireland that the advice from National Public Health Emergency Team is clear and non-essential travel by Irish people abroad, or non-Irish people into this country, is not advised.
