I propose to take Questions Nos. 2215 and 2329 together.

I have established an Expert Advisory Group on Rapid Testing. The group, chaired by Professor Mary Horgan, will support and advise government departments that are responsible for progressing pilots and the roll-out of rapid tests in their respective sectors. The Group’s Terms of Reference and further information can be found at:
