Intel to offer ongoing Covid tests after positive cases


Business Editor
Chipmaker Intel is going to begin offering ongoing Covid-19 rapid antigen testing to construction staff working on the site of its new fabrication plant in Leixlip, Co Kildare from next week.
The moves comes as the number of construction workers at the site who have been diagnosed with the coronavirus rose to 85, up 15 on yesterday.
It is expected the testing will be available from early next week to the up to 5,000 design, engineering and building contractors working on the multi-billion-euro facility and will be offered weekly.
In the meantime, the HSE is carrying out sweep testing to try to identify anyone who has contracted the virus as part of the current outbreak.

LARGE INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT funds and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) – or cuckoo funds – are currently buying up houses and especially apartments en masse.
This is pushing up prices and putting new homes beyond the reach of many people.
According to the Construction Industry Federation, in 2019, 95% of new apartments were sold to institutions, leaving just 5% for everyone else. Individuals and couples can’t compete with these multimillion-euro funds.
