Hi, Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get private covid testing in Dublin?
I need to come home to Ireland from the UK in the Summer holidays otherwise I'm screwed for childcare. I can do my job remotely while my parents very kindly help with the kids, and I have every intention of following quarantine etc but I wanted to find out of it's possible to get a covid test done (like they do in the airports in Hong Kong) to rule it out for sure and have an extra level of reassurance.

I couldn't find the answer online.
Thanks

Just reading the ( Irish) Sunday Times and there is an ad in it for private Covid19 testing.
I have no idea about the company but it's a full page ad in the "Sunday" section.
The company is safereturn.ie
They can be contacted at [email protected]

As I've said I know nothing about the company at all.

The government and HSE advice is here.www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/travel.html

You'll have to fill out a form stating where you will be staying in Ireland. You'll also have to self-isolate when you get to where you're staying for 14 days. Details in the link above.

However "A positive antibody result is not a guarantee of protection against a new infection by SARS-CoV-2, or of prevention of disease transmission to others."

Thank you for the extra information @YoungsterIwish

Thanks for the link @TheLongRider I have every intention of following quarantine if I come over. I just wanted a little extra reassurance if possible too.
