Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Issues Affecting the Aviation Sector: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Karan O'Loughlin:
I am from SIPTU and would like to add a comment. Given that none of us are health professionals, I do not think a debate on which type of testing is better than the other is the best use of our time but I believe all of the stakeholders in this conversation, who are witnesses to this committee, would agree there should be some type of free testing available so that we can get back to changing the conversation about safe travelling rather than having to look forward to another 12 months of people travelling for absolute necessity. The aviation industry will not survive that.
