Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Aviation
Darren O'Rourke (Meath East, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
It should be taken that with every intervention we make there is risk associated with false positives and negatives. It is very clear at the minute that the regime of checks and controls that we have at our ports and airports inspires zero confidence in the public. That, in and of itself, is a problem. It contributes to the difficulty of having a conversation about what future travel might look like in the context of living with Covid-19. What type of model should the Government be working towards, from Mr. Gray's perspective? Is it one that involves mandatory or random, antibody or DNA testing or one that involves increased tracking and tracing and isolation or quarantine? I would appreciate it if he could give us the best exemplar we should be looking toward.
