To date, what advice has Dr. Holohan and NPHET given to the Department of Transport, the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, and his Cabinet colleagues in terms of rapid testing at points of departure at airports? I have in mind that this Sunday evening at a political level, and Dr. Holohan is dealing in the realm of health policy, the EU traffic light system comes into force. There will be green regions but for orange and red regions it becomes quite unworkable in that people will have to quarantine if they come here from those regions. What advice has NPHET been giving to the Government in the lead-up to Sunday evening?
