Unusually, or rather predictably, the Irish Government has enacted legislation to require restaurants to only allow bookings from those who are double-vaccinated or have had an infection recently unless that restaurant is part of a hotel and the customer is a guest of the hotel in which case it doesn't matter if they have had Covid, a vaccination or both vaccinations - just have dinner.

What I'm saying is that it's difficult to suggest what issues you will face when you arrive here in Ireland, there's chaos and inconsistency everywhere - for instance those from Northern Ireland will be unable to avail of restaurants south of the border for many weeks yet.

Currently fully vaccinated Irish are not being allowed into the USA without quarantine, yet Americans can visit Ireland, whether vaccinated or not.

Unfortunately the fast-spreading Delta variant has seen daily coronavirus cases rise to over 1,100 and that will definitely increase to a rate we have not seen before.

International visitors are still being asked to fill out a passenger locator form when they arrive in Ireland.

Restaurants will be required by law to ask for proof of vaccination, so bring your Digital Covid Certificate if you have one.

So once you get here, away from the crowds take time to enjoy the scenery of the Irish countryside and breathe in that fresh Atlantic air or forest bathe in the lush green woodlands and rivers of Ireland.

For this reason, the difficulty of arranging travel in Covid times, Panoramic Ireland's private photography workshops and tours - from Dublin to Belfast to Cork - are available with no-deposit, no-fee necessary for 2021.
