Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Dalton Philips:

All the airlines and airports are saying that it should be pre-departure. The second question is whether antigen or PCR testing should be used. I am not a scientist, but it seems to me that the veracity of the testing of antigen is becoming so sophisticated that we can go with antigen testing, which is rapid and scalable. The last question is what we should do with the amber and red countries. Do we allow pre-departure for both, or just one? They are three simple questions. If we can do that, we can get the country open again.
