Green list Ireland: Government releases names of 15 countries safe to fly from without self isolating

The Government has officially released the countries that are on Ireland's "green list".

The 15 countries are Malta, Finland, Norway, Italy, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Cyprus, Slovakia, Greece, Greenland, Gibraltar, Monaco and San Marino.

This means people who travel from these nations won't have to self-isolate for 14 days when arriving in Ireland.

Earlier on Tuesday, Tánaiste and former Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar put the cat among the pigeons by speaking his own mind, outside the official Government line.

He said there could be no more "mixed messages" and that there would be no point having a green list if the advice for other countries was no different.

Last month, in one of his last acts as Taoiseach, Mr Varadkar declared at his final post-Cabinet press conference that the green list would be published.

He explained to the press that day, including the Irish Mirror, that this would be a list of countries that would have “air bridges” with Ireland.

It would be safe to travel to-and-fro between each with no extra restrictions imposed.
