I appreciate that. Antigen testing needs to be investigated at a European level. Ireland cannot conduct the research on its own. The Minister has an opportunity to raise this matter at EU level and he should do so. The issue here is the research.

I believe the Minister should. The research is the issue here. It is not necessarily whether it is wise for NPHET to be arguing for or against it. We need more research.
