Further exchanges are expected in the Dáil later on the government's bill to introduce mandatory quarantine in hotels.
The legislation has been heavily criticised by opposition parties for not going far enough.
If introduced, it would see arrivals from 20 'high risk' countries made to quarantine in a hotel for 2 weeks at their own expense.
It comes as the Health Minister confirmed up to 3,500 people are still arriving into Ireland every day from overseas.
