The evaluation might probe that a little further. I have always been interested in that.

Dr. Holohan will not have time to answer this. I do not want him to answer it but I would like a written response. It will form part of the evaluation. I will not call it a change of mind over antigen tests. By the way, I had an experience over Christmas, and many people did, with a particular brand. All I could think of was the "snake oil" reference and I thought there was some truth in that. The information on antigen testing has now been uploaded onto the HSE portal. However, there are legitimate questions to be asked about the delay in seeing antigen testing as having a role to play. I do not want Dr. Holohan to answer it now because I am limited in time but that is something the public would like to have answered.

On masks and children, I have had quite a number of queries with links to reputable medical websites and information that is kind of contradictory. Briefly, could Dr. Holohan say something about masks and children and the efficacy of same and what is underlying NPHET's decisions around that?
