It’s very testing to go travelling

Mooney on Irish Politics

In this episode I look at the cost of the PCR tests required to travel in and out of Ireland and the complexity of getting PCR tests while abroad. Ireland should (a) be using rapid antigen testing for travel and (b) should have joined the EU Covid Digital Certificate process from the July 1st start. Delaying participation until July 19 was an error, but missing that deadline and taking even longer to sign up to it would be a massive mistake.
