    Has to be a private test. The HSE text message is not excepted for travel.

    No you would need a private company to do the test they will give you a travel cert with all your details.

    The HSE is only a text and easily faked.

    In addition to the easily fakeable negative text message, the reason they don't provide a cert is that the state isn't going to fund a test for travel

    The articles said that if you asked the HSE for a test cause your going travelling they wouldn't test you. I was asking if the actual border agents would accept the HSE test.

    Does anyone know if Dublin airport will refuse you entry to a flight if you have a Negative HSE covid test rather than a private one? I was under the impression that they are the same PCR test so why would one be accepted and not the other?

    It’s not accepted as you are tested by the HSE because you have symptoms and may get a false negative.
