I just had one. It hurt like hell. The guy went in both my nostrils twice and stirred the swab around. Smh
Just a pity it's a bloody rip off in England some places are charging £150 that will no doubt stop tourism for a family of 4 it's a extra £600 on top of your holiday

As tests roll out as 'the norm' we hope to see the rates reduce in both Ireland and the UK. Thank you for commenting.
