If such a facility were to be built, the cost and maintenance would most likely fall to the Irish government.
This weekend, there have been many reports of tourists arriving in Ireland from around the world, including from places where there are a high number of Covid-19 cases, like New York and Texas.

So, we’re asking: should there be a government facility near Dublin Airport where people have to quarantine for the required two-weeks?
