The Business Minister says the government is trying to find the right balance on allowing people into and out of the country.
The Cabinet met yesterday where it discussed several options on tightening travel restrictions in airports and ports.
It’s after Dublin fruit company Keelings was criticised for flying in workers to pick fruit.
Business Minister Heather Humphreys says the government’s weighing up the best options.
"We need to find a balance, we need to allow the airports and the ports to stay open in order to allow the movement of supplies and essential workers, and for Irish citizens to be able to come home as well.
"But we also need to minimise the risk of reinfection of the virus."
