The Castlerea is one of a number of pop up testing centres which have sprung up across the country in the last few months

The latest drive-through Covid testing centre in the Shannonside region has reported a very busy morning since it opened just after 10am.

The facility, based at the fire station building in Castlerea, will be open for seven days and has the capacity to test both adult and children.

It opens at 10am each day and closes at 5pm.
