I thank the witnesses for the presentation. Over the past couple of weeks there has been some public comment by people in authority on rapid antigen testing, in particular Dr. Tony Holohan. I ask for the witnesses' view on that. What is their stance on what Dr. Holohan said about the validity of these tests? We have heard compelling evidence from authorities in Italy today to state they are very reliable and have helped enormously in getting their aviation industry back on its feet. As the witnesses will be aware, we are trying to do the same in this country, so I would like to get their views on the comments made by Dr. Holohan in recent days.
