As Deputy O'Rourke is aware, we are listening to the advice of NPHET at the moment. We are at level 5. We have aligned ourselves with the EU traffic-light approach. People who come to this country from a red-list country will be asked to restrict their movements for 14 days. After five days, they can avail of PCR tests here. Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports and the private sector will be rolling out testing facilities. Travellers coming from orange list countries will be asked to take a test three days in advance of travelling. If they do not do that, they can also avail of the test here within five days, as per red list passengers. Again, it is about people taking personal responsibility when they come here and adhering to the local public health advice.

Regarding some of the expected volumes, the DAA testing plan across Dublin and Cork airports has estimated the volume to be approximately 150 tests per day, ramping up to a total of 300 tests per day towards the end of the year. The DAA has also identified capacity in the private sector testing market of up to 12,000 PCR tests per day.
