I commend the rapid engagement on airport testing and the work that has already been done by the DAA, which says it is ready to go with, I believe, a PCR test. Based on the information from HIQA, it might be the case following its assessment that we have to live with the PCR until such time as other technologies are proven to perform. I encourage the expedition of that process.

I echo Deputy O'Connor's point on funding for the roads programme. We have been hearing the same in County Meath. I welcome the increased overall funding for the Department.
