The Government is set to impose a suspension on almost all travel from Britain following fears over the spread of a new strain of Covid-19.
The move was agreed by the three coalition party leaders who held discussions this afternoon, and an announcement is expected this evening.
Officials are still working on the final details of the plan which will include a number of exemptions, including for essential workers and for the delivery of goods into the country.
Consideration is also being given to exempting people who are transiting through Britain on their way home to Ireland from other countries.
