Apologies, Chair.

Professor Ferguson of Science Foundation Ireland is heading up an expert group on antigen testing in a variety of settings and not just education ones. The report is due for completion sometime this month. Certainly, we will utilise antigen testing if NPHET recommends it. We have been flexible and resilient in terms of introducing in schools any measures requested from a public health point of view. We have introduced them at different stages throughout the reopening of schools and we would do that going forward.
