Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I do not agree with the Deputy’s initial remarks on the overall Covid-19 strategy. As I said earlier, societies all over the world, as they reopen, are experiencing huge issues with the virus and very significant clusters have emerged in many locations in Europe and elsewhere. We are very anxious to avoid that. We are working with the CMO and with the National Public Health Emergency Team, NPHET. Non-essential travel has been the advice from the very beginning.

The Deputy said that tests should be carried out at airports. NPHET do not agree.
