Mr. Dalton Philips:

I thank the Deputy. There are two routes to go in introducing pre-departure testing at the airports. In either case, permission is required. Statutory Instrument 93/2020 has been used, for example, in Croke Park. We have not been able to avail of that yet although we urgently need to set up a pre-departure testing regime. If we cannot get that, we would have to go the traditional planning route, which could take an inordinate period of time and is very costly. We are urgently waiting to see if we can use the statutory instrument at the moment but we have had no joy.
