Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Ivan Bassato:
It is available in national airports. Before entering the country, the requirement for testing applies to all means of transport, not only to air transport. It applies to passengers coming by train or automobile. Many airports, although not all of them, have screening operations on the way. Not all involve antigen screening. It is a question of which is most accessible to the passenger. The utilisation of antigen testing is growing, however, and the level is much higher by comparison with two months ago, for example.
