Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate: Discussion

Ms Elizabeth Canavan:

That is the case because PCR tests are only a snapshot of infectiousness at a point in time. That is important. One of the areas in which we have work to do is to make a clear checklist for people when they are travelling. The landing page on gov.ie/travelwill point people towards a number of things about which they need to think before travelling. It will also point to the Department of Foreign Affairs website. The Department has done an analysis of the top queries for the most popular countries. There is easy and accessible information available relating to the requirements for entry to the most popular tourist destinations. We are trying to give people as much information as possible but we are definitely telling people to check the requirements before they go and to be aware that the situation in different countries can change.

We are trying to keep the information as real-time as we can. Does Ms Jones wish to add anything further?
