I am fairly sure the Minister has a good idea of what the recommendations and conclusions will be arising from the deliberations of the committee from these hearings. I am sure he has followed them and is quite aware of the challenges for the aviation sector.

The Minister outlined testing criteria. When will that testing be introduced? He mentioned the requirements on travellers coming from red countries so will he reiterate them? What testing capacity exists for people to avail of this? I know there is private testing capacity but it is not all PCR. Some of it is loop-mediated isothermal amplification, LAMP, molecular testing. Where can people avail of those approved PCR tests?
