Rapid Antigen Testing for Aviation and Travel Sectors: Discussion
Timmy Dooley (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I thank the guests for their continued engagement with the committee. I had the opportunity to meet with Dr. Niamh Power when she visited as part of the Irish Air Line Pilots Association, IALPA, delegation recently.
We are united as a committee at this stage in recognising the importance of antigen testing in terms of getting the free movement of people. Everything the witnesses have provided us with is helpful. My big question concerned capacity and scale but that has already been addressed. My other question is to understand what other countries are doing. Have the witnesses any individual experience of the use of antigen testing, particularly the aviation sector, in other areas with which they are familiar through contacts or experience?
