The Minister mentioned testing and tracing. It is not his responsibility but there is optional PCR testing at point of departure at our airports. For some, it could cost €100 on top of their air ticket to fly. It is a transport issue but if it gives rise to increased Covid cases it will become the responsibility of the Minister for Health. Should testing at airports be compulsory so that we know that people coming in and out of Ireland are Covid-free and not adding to risk levels here?
