The government has finally given the green light to travel abroad for Christmas.
Travelers can go home for Christmas from abroad if they take precautions.
Family members living abroad have finally received a life preserver from Leo Varadkar.
The Tánaiste has repeatedly said before that he would prefer people not to come home, but he has softened his tone from a fortnight ago when he firmly told people not to book flights.
Speaking on Morning Ireland this morning, the Fine Gael leader said: “If people travel, we appreciate that it is the people’s choice and there may be individual people who have individual family circumstances that force them to travel, we appreciate that.
“It is what we have agreed as a government and it is not as strong as the NPHET council, which is stronger.
“We have agreed as a government that if people travel, we ask them to follow the traffic light rules.”
Mr Varadkar added: “So if you are coming from an amber light area, there are very few of them, make sure you have a test before you travel, a negative test.
“If you are coming from a red area, which is pretty much everywhere right now, outside of Ireland and Iceland, we are telling people if you come, restrict your movements for the first five days until you get a test that is negative. day five “.
