Mr. John Mulhern:

Similar to the other airports, we have asked questions about how state aid rules would apply and are waiting for confirmation from the Department in that regard. With regard to how Covid testing would apply, we understand that PCR is, for now, the recognised method of testing. It is not a rapid form of testing. It requires a day or two, and up to three, to get a result from most private providers of that type of testing. We believe that PCR testing should be done off-site, rather than at the airports, by those intending to travel. When we have finished our negotiations with a private provider, which we will complete next week, we will make such avenues for testing available to those who will need to travel during the winter.
