============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

People have different perspectives on the efficacy of antigen testing. I support the roll-out of antigen testing, as does the Government. The Government and the Minister established an expert group made up of a range of different disciplines and chaired by Professor Mark Ferguson, the chief scientific adviser and the CEO of Science Foundation Ireland. It has made a number of recommendations. It produced a majority report as there was some dissent and some reservations were articulated.
