International passengers arriving into Ireland were supposed to have proof of a negative covid test from today, but it has been delayed until Sunday or possibly Monday.
The Justice Minister says the delay was as a result of regulations not being signed soon enough and that it wasn't intentional.
Colin Murphy and his girlfriend live in Liverpool and arrived home to Ireland this morning:
"We went about yesterday, both of us had to take an extra day annual leave, and we had to pay 30 pounds each. This morning we arrived to our gate in Liverpool and we were told they've scrapped it till Sunday now, so it wasn't needed. I just don't understand why when you're releasing these rules, nobody sits down and puts a timescale on when when it's going to be needed for."
