It's reported the trail tests are being carried out on all 150 residents.
The entire 150 residents of a Roscommon village have been Covid tested for free, as part of a pilot programme for rapid results testing.
The Sunday Times reports that the church car park in Lecarrow, near Lough Ree, has acted as a pop up centre over four Saturdays.
Villagers received their results from the Antigen tests in just 18 minutes - they're delivered via text.
Funding for the project came from the company Roqu - it hopes this kind of testing can be used for events and to cut the need for lockdowns.
Local councillor Laurence Fallon hopes this kind of testing can be used for events and to cut the need for lockdowns:
