Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues facing the Aviation Industry: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Lynne Embleton:
We see PCR tests as expensive, onerous and a deterrent to travel. We believe antigen testing should be adopted as the standard for pre-departure screening. As I said in my opening statement, other countries have concluded that antigen testing is fit for that purpose and we would strongly encourage, advise and like to see the adoption of antigen testing rather than PCR testing where testing is appropriate.
