Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: The Situation in Meat Processing Plants
Mr. Cormac Healy:
I was asked about the issue of cost. Over the weekend, there was talk of private and public testing. What has been said now is that a public testing screening programme will be carried out. What we have focused on, since the Government announced that during the week, is ensuring that we have protocols to understand how it will be done, that it is efficient and, as discussed in the earlier session, that we have turnaround times for test results of between 12 and 24 hours so that the results are known-----
