I wish to again raise the issue of testing and tracing for passengers arriving at ports and airports. Could the Minister please update the House on the type of testing that will be put in place? Will it be polymerase chain reaction, PCR, or another type? What will the cost of testing be? How many tests will each major port and airport be able to carry out daily? What will the timeframe involved? There is some indication that testing will start today at Cork and Shannon airports. When will testing be up and running elsewhere?
