The drive-through clinic will allow passengers to check-in and get tested from their vehicle.

Similar centres are already operating at Dublin, Cork and Shannon airports in the hope it may allow for greater confidence in international travel.

Under the EU traffic light system, those arriving in Ireland from green regions do not need to quarantine, while passengers from orange countries may avoid the need to restrict their movements if they supply a negative PCR test result.
