View answerI have arranged for a copy of the letter from Minister of State Naughton, sent in May rather than in April as was stated in the Dáil on 17 June 2021, and sent to the Taoiseach, Minister for Health and other Ministers endorsing antigen testing to be forwarded to the Deputy. Minister of State Naughton has also written to the Minister for Health this week on the subject of the consideration a pilot of the use of antigen testing for international travel linked to the implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate.
