It makes no sense not to test people with relevant symptoms. That has been the approach taken by S.Korea, Singapore and Taiwan. The WHO expanded their guidelines back in February to say that testing should be expanded to include general surveillance and for flu-like symptoms. This seems to have been ignored by the Dept Of Health until now in Ireland. I don't know why since testing capability seems reasonably good (far better than the USA for example). Community spread is happening so identifying clusters quickly and requiring early isolation slows down the progression, which is the goal now. The fixation with maintaining the narrow definition of who can get tested seems more to do with politics than science.
