Covid-19 (Taoiseach): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-27
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I thank the Deputy. I might be out of date on this but the last time I was briefed on this, which was a week or two ago, the estimate for the cost of testing for Covid this year will be somewhere between €400 million and €450 million. That is because of the fact that the tests cost about €200 a go, which is a lot of money. I might be out of date but that is the most recent briefing I had on it.
