Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Chairperson Designate of the DAA: Discussion

Mr. Basil Geoghegan:

Yes. We were there. We found it quite difficult but ultimately we were able to get testing at the airport, at least for people who wanted to be tested. We were very clear it would not take away from the State's efforts. Others said it might but it did not. It was commercial. We have been supportive right along of antigen testing as well and we continue to be. We have seen it operate very efficiently in airports around Europe. I took a home antigen test myself yesterday before coming to the committee to make sure I was healthy. I believe in the antigen test's efficacy.
