Danny Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

Regarding the spread of the virus, an awful lot of attention is now being directed towards children attending national school. Nine-year-olds must wear masks all day and five-to-11-year-olds may be vaccinated. Parents are very worried about this. Today there is no PCR test available in Kerry. The nearest place to take a test today is Shannon Airport. There is no booster available in Killarney, only Tralee, so all the people from south and east Kerry must go to Tralee. A family of seven were quoted €700 to go to the Bon Secours, in Tralee, to get private PCR tests. Where is logic in all this? The people must go to Shannon Airport to get a PCR test. That is the truth.
