If anyone has experience of flying in to Dublin from a UK red list country recently, please share.
I can see that 11 days in Ireland is probably a cheaper and far more attractive alternative to confinement over the same period in a quarantine hotel near Heathrow. Until this week's announcements I'd been considering a ten-day tour of Romania for similar relief.
Dublin has it's own restrictions to enforce, and has little interest in the UK's red list. On the other hand the UK authorities have some awareness of the potential abuse of CTA internal border regulations and procedures: and an exit stamp from Jakarta (or wherever) could be an embarrassment to anyone seeking to circumvent those regulations.
