Leading travel journalist Eoghan Corry joined Damien to discuss what you need to do, if you're flying into Ireland from Friday.

The government announced during the week that a negative PCR or professionally carried out antigen test will be needed for inbound travellers.

People can have either a professional antigen test taken a maximum of 48 hours prior to arrival or a PCR test taken up to 72 hours earlier.

Eoghan Corry discussed many issues around flying with Damien, including how to get an antigen test if you're in a different country, what exactly is meant by a 'professional' antigen test, and who is checking for this at the airport?

Eoghan says this is by no means clear, and he envisages a bit of confusion as a result!

"The government has thrown it onto the airline, and the airline staff, to make the decision as to whether you're let on board"

Eoghan also had details on what happens with children who are flying, and what paperwork is needed for flying. Have a listen to his full chat with Damien on Deise Today, through the link in this podcast.
