Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan has raised concern about air travel this Christmas, saying NPHET is engaging in a process with the government on how to enable the traffic light travel system by 8 November.

Professor Sam McConkey, Infectious Disease Specialist at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, joined us to discuss the situation.
