Visiting the Offshore Islands
The Covid 19 pandemic is having a noticeable effect on the way in which we are and will be, over the short term, undertaking our day to day activities. It is of paramount importance that the highest priority be given to the health and welfare of the community. The Department is keenly aware of the concerns among the island communities regarding visitors to islands, particularly in these summer months.
In accordance with phase 5 of the recently published roadmap issued by the Government for the reopening of Ireland’s economy and society, it is not envisaged that Ireland’s offshore islands will be opened for visitors until 10 August.
The roadmap can be viewed here https://www.gov.ie/en/news/58bc8b-taoiseach-announces-roadmap-for-reopening-society-and-business-and-u/?referrer=/roadmap/
Accordingly, the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht reminds individuals, save for the permanent residents of those islands and those undertaking essential services, do not visit our offshore islands until 10 August.
It is recognised that we are all in an unprecedented period, which creates challenges for us all. That said, these challenges will be best overcome if we work in partnership for the benefit of the communities we serve.

Cuairt ar Oileáin Amach ón gCósta
Tá tionchar suntasach ag an bpaindéim Covid 19 ar an mbealach a bhfuilimid agus a mbeimid ag tabhairt faoin saol ó lá go lá. Tá sé ríthábhachtach go dtabharfaimis tús áite do shláinte agus leas an phobail. Tuigeann an Roinn go rímhaith an imní atá ar phobail oileán maidir le cuairteoirí chuig na hoileáin, go háirithe le linn mhíonna an tsamhraidh.
Dá réir sin, cuirean an Roinn Cultúir, Oidhreachta agus Gaeltachta i gcuimhne do dhaoine, seachas daoine atá ina gcónaí ar na hoileáin sin agus daoine atá ag tabhairt faoi sheirbhísí riachtanacha, gan cuairt a thabhairt ar na hoileáin amach ón gcósta go dtí an 10 Lúnasa de réir chéim 5 den phlean arna eisiúint ag an Rialtas chun geilleagar agus sochaí na hÉireann a athoscailt.
Tá an plean le fáil anseo https://www.gov.ie/en/news/58bc8b-taoiseach-announces-roadmap-for-reopening-society-and-business-and-u/?referrer=/roadmap/
Aithnítear gur tréimhse í seo nár chleacht muid riamh cheana agus go bhfuil dúshláin ag baint léi dúinn ar fad. Ina dhiaidh sin is uile, is fearr a rachaimid i ngleic leis na dúshláin sin má oibrímid i gcomhar lena chéile ar mhaithe leis na pobail a ndéanaimid freastal orthu.
