Current public health advice is to avoid high-risk activities like travel.

International travel is allowed from today for the first time in 16 months, as Ireland rolls-out the EU Digital Covid Certificate.

Fully vaccinated people, those recently recovered from Covid-19 or can present a negative test are allowed travel around the European Union.

Over 22,000 people are expected to pass through Dublin Airport today, as Aer Lingus and Ryanair have both ramped up their schedules.

In a statement last night, the Government said Covid-19 still is a threat.

The current public health advice is that you avoid high risk activities - including international travel.

It says a helpline is operational from today to help with issues over the certificate and to request a recovery cert - the helpline number is 1800 851 504.
