Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Tony Holohan:
The Department of Health, as one of the constituent Departments, is obviously making its advice available into the overall process. That advice will reflect what NPHET has stated and what we have shared with the committee relating to testing in our HIQA process and what the international organisations, the WHO and the European Centre for Disease Control, ECDC, have said about the effectiveness of testing. That will continue to be our advice and position.
