Hi, I am due to travel to Germany tomorrow and return to Ireland the next day. Will my PCR test done today in Ireland be suitable for both legs of the journey (as they will be both within 72hrs of the test as required by both countires) or would it only apply for the outbound leg and I would have to do another for the inbound leg? Thanks in advance. MM

Managed to get a response from DFA who said the one test will cover both legs as long as it is in the timeframe required by both country's(which it is). Hope this helps future queries. MM
