The High Court has recommended that two people who separately challenged their detention in mandatory hotel quarantine should get the legal costs of their actions after the cases were struck out following their release.
The recommendations were made following applications from lawyers for Israeli woman Inbar Aviezer, who came here to work, and for Dublin man Derek Jennings (47), who also flew from Israel to be with his severely ill father. Both had been fully vaccinated and tested in Israel but yet were required to quarantine after taking a flight from Israel.

An Israeli woman’s challenge to the State’s mandatory hotel quarantine will be heard in the High Court on Monday.
The application has been brought by lawyers representing Inbar Aviezer who, under the requirements of the Health (Amendment) Act 2021, has been quarantining at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel near Dublin Airport since Wednesday after taking a flight from Israel.
She is challenging the constitutionality of her quarantine under Article 40.4.2, which allows for a High Court hearing into the legal justification of any detention.
