Looks like the Irish are going to lift the 14 day quarantine in the near future now for visitors from the UK

To be honest the stress and frustration of the whole thing was too much for me. I'm based in Gouvia and now use an agent. The Tepai website is ridiculous. If anyone wants the agent's contact details do PM me.

There is still a mandatory 14 day quarantine on arrival in Eire from the UK. Look at the Government's websites !

Strictly, no you can't if it's not essential travel and even if you do you have to quarantine for 14 days on arrival

Nikia…"Dymo Tape"!!!.., And it's still there? I remember those little machines well , don't think I've seen one in 40 years. If you stuck it there guess you must be 60 + ? Best Mad Pad

Thanks Dom.... I sometimes wonder why I bother to post on this forum. The OP asked for FIRST HAND experiences of people using life rafts for real. So out of about 90 posts so far, I can see only 3 relating to the OP's question, the rest being 2nd hand accounts, OZ 1 Robert J Mad Pad..(Me)...
