Failure to comply with Passenger locator form could result in fines or time in Jail

Passengers arriving into Ireland from overseas will face a fine or jail if they fail to fill out a Covid-19 passenger locator form.

From today, it's mandatory to provide details of where you will be self-isolating and your contact information.

Anyone who fails to do so could be imprisoned for up to six months or face a fine of up to 2,500 euro.

A further 17 people have died here from Covid-19 and 73 new cases have also been confirmed.

Once again there has been no change in the reported number of cases in Sligo, Leitrim or Donegal.

Chief medical officer Tony Holohan says the new form will allow them to follow up with passengers if necessary.
