Ryanair wants to restore 40 per cent of its flights from July 1st.

That's around 1,000 flights a day; it's currently running about 30.

All passengers and crew will have to wear facemasks and will be subject to temperature checks.

Queuing for the toilets will be banned; you'll need to make an individual request instead.

Ryanair CEO Eddie Wilson says there will be less flights to some of the worst affected areas:

"You''ll have less frequency to cities in particular like Madrid and Barcelona but covering 90 per cent of the destinations is what we're aiming to do. We want to get people back flying.

"We'll have less frequency. We'll build this up again. We are now in a sort of post lockdown era where many countries around Europe are gradually easing restrictions."

Meanwhile, plans that would see Gardaí checking in on passengers to make sure they're self isolating have got the backing of the Health Minister.

Simon Harris says there needs to be new laws to regulate people travelling into the country via ports and airports.
