Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Testing and Tracing

Ms Niamh O'Beirne:

I thank the Deputy for the question. In contact tracing we have consolidated to one centre in Galway with a capacity to do 150 positive tests. We have agreed with all the centres that have worked with us that if we have three days of 100 tests consecutively, we will step up the other centres again. We have 1,700 people trained in contact tracing and everyone who worked with us is committed to coming back in that timeframe.
