I hope this requirement to provide a negative test from the UK is kicked into touch. I'm flying to Dublin from Edinburgh then from there to the US (overnight in DUB). Two tests in two days (Ireland/US) on the way out then both Irish/UK tests on the way back isn't cheap and is quite a hassle given it all seems to have been done on a whim from all parties.
Edit: has the Irish government clarified what a professional test is and whether tests taken in a video appointment would be valid?
