wvaes hi from Dublin
Ireland is due to start phase 2 of reopening on Monday 8 June, where our travel limit is due to extend from 5km to 20 km for non essential travel. We are still in shutdown for most sectors, bars, restaurants, shops, hotels and most tourist places are all still closed.
Most business in Ireland are requiring facemasks / coverings , airlines and airports and hotels require temperature checks. Many business have been hit hard here by the lockdown especially in the tourism and hospitality sector. Hotels and pubs are only reopening in July 20, restaurants are reopening in June. Many in the hospitality sector may not reopen.
Phase 5 August 10 is when non essential international travel can resume, both people from outside of Ireland coming here and Irish people leaving Ireland.
Currently we have a mandatory 14 day quarantine for anyone who arrives into Ireland.
HOWEVER
There is a growing public and political opinion that the travel restrictions should be lifted.
By September I would say that you should be ok to travel here. I have a
Disney cruise departing from Dover, England booked for September and unless Disney cancels it, I expect to to travel to England and to go on the cruise.
Just make sure you keep checking hotels and places you plan to visit websites for new procedures and policies.
