An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-23
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

The impression from the contributions of the Opposition is that nobody is getting tested and no one can get tested. We already had a good discussion on testing during Leaders' Questions. I gave information on testing and I said that the HSE is doing everything it possibly can to expand PCR testing. I remember Deputy McDonald saying well over a year ago that 100,000 tests per week was the holy grail but we are well beyond that now, with 207,000 tests per week.
To respond to Deputy Michael Collins, a debate on sea fisheries is due before the end of the recess. The Business Committee has agreed to have statements on Covid-19 and the new measures tomorrow. I do not know whether Deputies are aware of that but that debate will last 200 minutes, with a ten-minute wrap-up from the Department of Health.
