Taoiseach Micheál Martin has said the government will discuss increasing the fine for non-essential travel abroad from €500 to €2,000.

The UK transport secretary announced there would be no foreign travel permitted until everybody has been vaccinated, but will it be the same in Ireland?

What are the civil liberties implications of refusing to allow unvaccinated people to leave the country?

To discuss this we were joined by Social Democrats co-leader Róisín Shortall, Liam Herrick, Executive Director of the Irish Council for Civil Liberties, and Aoife McLysaght, Professor in Genetics at Trinity College Dublin and member of the
Independent Scientific Advocacy Group.
