But we do know that, for instance, in the case of the two Irish passengers, there is already talk of when they arrive back in Ireland, you know, the kind of advice they will be given on quarantining, whether that will be at home.

and what they will need to do if they do begin to develop symptoms so there are still a lot of questions that you know need to be answered but one assumes that given this kind of three-day bridge between now and the arrival of the ship a lot of those questions will be answered.

Cliona we will keep in touch with you thank you very much for that update that's Cliona Flynn there who is in Tenerife.

Weekday mornings at 9.

Good morning, David.

How are you?

Well, what we're hearing officially is that the ship will be docking in Tenerife.

I mean, we have literally just in the last few minutes had this confirmed that it will be Tenerife because while locally it was thought it would come to these islands, there was still no confirmation it could have gone to Gran Canaria.

Both Tenerife and Gran Canaria would be the two islands that would have docked.

the best hospital facilities to look after any patients or any passengers that might become patients.

But underneath all of this, you have a rumbling row still ongoing about why the Canary Islands has been picked.

The regional president, Fernando Clavijo, yesterday evening was saying that he still didn't feel that it was appropriate.

He didn't know why the ship couldn't carry on to the Netherlands.

But late last night, the Spanish government agreed to the World Health Organization's request, said it had a legal and moral obligation to allow the ship stuck in the Canary Islands because it is the first available port

that the ship would meet as it kind of drives up along the west coast of Africa from where it is at the moment.

So Canarian Television are reporting this morning that the ship is coming here to Tenerife.

But the political row, I think, will continue because one of the big questions still to be answered is how are passengers then to be transferred from the ship

Do they go straight to an airplane?

Do they go to a hotel to quarantine?

How will that transportation happen?
