Sinn Féin Leader Mary Lou McDonald says it's frightening for people with symptoms.
The Sinn Féin leader is claiming people have had to travel up to four hours to get a PCR test.
Offaly, Laois and Westmeath are among 18 counties that have no tests available this lunchtime, amid a surge in demand during the fourth wave of Covid.
The HSE says it's trying to provide more tests but will be prioritising them based on clinical need.
