Imelda Munster (SF), Louth

Eight days ago, I raised the urgent need for a Covid-19 testing centre for Drogheda, the largest town in Ireland. The Taoiseach gave a commitment to make representations and revert to me. He never did get back to me, despite the fact that County Louth is now on a knife-edge and we are looking at the real possibility of heading into level 3. The people are playing their part and they expect the Taoiseach, as Head of Government, to play his. He can do mass testing or he can do the lockdown of an entire county. Can the Taoiseach tell the people of Drogheda and south Louth, following the representations and intervention I presume he has made, when the town will get its Covid-19 testing centre?
