Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

Absolutely, we have engaged with Professor Mary Horgan in framing the regulations. The strict advice and the good practice concerning antigen testing are to run it every two days over a period. The Deputy is aware of that. In regulating for coming and going from the country, it is difficult in law to regulate beyond the point of entry or exit. In the processes of boarding and checking in, we have been able to bake in the certification, passenger locator form and information requirements. In the weeks ahead, the Deputy may well hear clearer and perhaps more proactive advice on running antigen testing. Anyone coming over on an antigen test should do another antigen test or two on days two and four. That is considered good practice, and that is what the task force on antigen testing would expect. With regard to strict regulation and what we can make law, we just focused on the period of 48 hours in advance of arrival.
