That's despite Business Committee members being briefed this morning politicians would have access to free testing.
The Oireachtas - which is independent of Government - says free tests will be provided to staff who have to be on site such as ushers, caterers and others.
TDs and Senators will still be required to pay for antigen testing.

Kildare North TD James Lawless told Ciara Noble on Thursday's Kildare Focus that he is happy to pay for his own antigen test.
