Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Tony Holohan:

We have talked about the limitations of different testing technologies, about PCR being superior, about the risks of tests at a single point in time, and about the risks that attach to arrangements that, ultimately, depend on the goodwill of individuals to comply with the public health advice or advice about self-isolation and quarantine. It stands to reason that our advice and guidance will be reflective of that.
