Can I go to Ireland for a few days?

[theinvisablewoman]

I am lucky enough to have a family house in rural Ireland. No one has been there since December and I feel very anxious that there might be stuff to sort out there . We usually go about every 6 weeks.
I would like to go over for a long weekend , get shopping all in one go and then stay in the house maybe go for walks with my husband no contact with locals.
Is this allowed? I can't seem to work out what the policy is.
I know other people who have gone and stayed with family with no problem but we really want to do the right thing. I don't want to upset anyone or put anyone at risk

You'd have to stay indoors and not have contact with anyone else. So basically unless the house is already stocked with food and you wouldn't need to go to a shop, and you wouldn't need to use public transport at any stage, I don't think you can go.

You have to isolate for 14 days going to Ireland.

That's assuming you're travelling from GB

You need to self-isolate for 14 days on arrival. Please don't come. We really don't want tourists from Britain at the moment.

here is the guidance. I suppose technically it says that you can't go to the shop unless absolutely necessary, but in reality it's pretty clear that you're not intended to visit in the first place.

Thankyou for that link it makes things clearer
We are from an area with no covid at the moment
I could arrange a food delivery I think?
No public transport I'd rent a car.
It also says you do not have to stay in the country for 14 days. So wouldn't need to stay for 14 days quarantine
Wouldn't have anything to do with anyone .
But maybe local people would be angry???
I wonder when the green list will be updated

No public transport I'd rent a car.

Planes are public transport.

I wonder when the green list will be updated

No is no chance of Britain going on the green list anytime soon.

But maybe local people would be angry???

People here are definitely pissed off with people coming over from Britain and ignoring the rules.

I live in Ireland and our cases are creeping back up. Over 100 in the last few days

Please don't come. I'm an Irish nurse and do not want more people getting infected and we are back to square one and I don't want to go back into lockdown either.
It doesn't matter that the house is in a rural part away from everyone - if you need to rent a car, then you'll have to go to a rental place at the airport (that's contact with people)
You'll have to get food shopping (that's contact with people)

It's just a bad idea at the moment. At least just wait until government advice changes. Our numbers have been creeping back up over the past week and it is worrying.

I don't understand what is the big rush for people to go on holidays. Why can't people just be sensible and wait a couple of months

No don’t do it..

The irish take the rules very very seriously. They arent like Britain and they view Britain as a covid 19 hotspot and those that arrive in as basically unwelcome spreaders of the virus, regardless of where you are actually coming from. You won't be welcome there. I wouldnt recommend going.

Hit the nail on the head exactly

Couldn't have put it better

You could visit Northern Ireland with no quarantine.
