NEW arrangements are being put in place for those seeking COVID-19 tests in Limerick.
Due to the high numbers of people presenting at the COVID-19 Test Centre at Eastpoint Business Park, Ballysimon, walk-in or drive-in tests will now only be available from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
- External Walls: Up to €8,000 Grant
- Attic: Up to €1,500 Grant
- Cavity Walls: Up to €1,700 Grant
- Internal Dry Lining: Up to €4,500 Grant
Tests can be booked outside of these times (7:45 a.m-7:00 p.m.) via appointment. People can book their tests via the HSE website, or through their GP. These opening hours are unchanged from the current arrangements.
Pre-booking a COVID-19 test is strongly advised, and means you may experience fewer delays and that you will be tested at a time that is convenient to you.
The changes take effect from Tuesday, September 7th and will be kept under review.
Demand for COVID-19 testing remains strong with nearly 5,000 tests conducted in Limerick last week.* This includes over 800 tests which were conducted at the pop-up test centre located at St. Joseph’s Health Campus, Mulgrave Street between Monday and Friday last.
