I have read the report and it specifically says that no request was made. The Minister, Deputy Stephen Donnelly, told us that Professor Mary Horgan’s group was set up for individual Departments to go directly to it, not through him. Has the Department of Transport made a direct approach to Professor Mary Horgan? If not then the Department needs to make such an approach if it is supportive of antigen testing. Is this something the Minister would do on the basis that he is telling us he is supportive of antigen testing? It appears to be somewhere up in the sky sailing around with nothing happening.
