Sailing to Ireland after 19 July

[Telstar26]

According to this article, we may be able to sail from the UK to Ireland after 19 July, as long as we are fully vaccinated. And presumably we don't have to self-isolate on return.

But I'm finding it hard to find definitive rules anywhere! Can anyone enlighten me?

We are currently in France, yes I know its not Ireland, and are returning after the 19th. We are required by English regulations to submit a negative COVID test 48 hours before departure and undertake another one two days after arrival. Both of us have had two vaccines.

Ireland has rules in place on visitors that when .I looked yesterday requires you to quarantine on arrival ‘at home’ so don’t think you’ll be allowed in...
best check on the Irish gov web page.

Still haven't seen any news on this, anyone else having better luck?

Not sailed to Ireland but flew in last week, sailed out then flew back there. Quarantine and PCR is required unless you have an exemption.
Designated States and exemptions to rules on pre-departure RT-PCR tests and Mandatory Hotel Quarantine
'Maritime crew' are exempt but not sure if that includes non-professionals or how professional status can be demonstrated.

We are planning to sail to Ireland soon. Do we have to use a specified port of entry?
