Non essential international travel?.

[EasilyAmused]

Has the fine for non essential international travel been increased to €2,000 as reported last month? Or is it still €500.

Is there any limit on this fine, eg a date where it’s set to expire?
Or is it linked to our Covid level 5? What happens if the levels drop to 4 or 3? Will the fine be lifted?

€500 going and €500 coming back is my understanding. No annoucement on any reductions that I've heard

I don't think the fine is connected too any levels while it is connected too non essential travel ban.
As far as I know it's still €500 but open too correction on it

And as far as I am aware everyone in your "party" gets fined the 500 euro or 2,000 euro whichever it is.

It looks like the need to justify essential travel has been quietly dropped from inbound Passenger Locator forms.

State no longer asks passengers if their travel is ‘essential’

Shortall says no reason why passenger locator forms were amended in early February

This is one occasion where having Sinn Fein in power would be useful; they could just kneecap anyone who they think has broken the rules.

Correction, anyone who isn't a member in good standing...they're very much in the 'do what we say, not what we do' camp

Yes, well obviously things like the funeral of a "Good Republican" is an essential journey.
A witch hunt about a witch cartoon would probably justify both travel and leg breaking.

Any reports on these fines being given?
Will an informal medical or dental checkup booking abroad suffice to bypass this?

Q&A: When can I travel abroad and what do I need?

Digital Covid Certs are due to be rolled out on July 19th, but there is a lot still up in the air

Been through the airport several times, only asked once where i was going, but not if it was business or leisure, despite it being a leisure destination. Most people, including gardai, are pragmatic, and aren't going to be getting in the way of normal citizens acting in a responsible manner and not stinking of booze or drugs.
