Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion
Cathal Crowe (Clare, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
This is the nub of everything we need to get to. I doubt many people in Rome are watching the committee but for those watching on home soil, this is the nub of where we need to get to: a digital, e-health application that was trialled by Italy, albeit unilaterally. We need to drill deep into this kind of technology, even if it is rudimentary or a few weeks off full development, that is where the committee needs to get. While want to see more antigen testing, that is an interim measure until there is a digital green certificate. Until we know fully how that will work and how planes can get into our sky and people travel in and our of Ireland, that is where we need to get to. This has been a very worthwhile contribution by Mr. Bassato and I thank him.
