I accept that the hospitality element is a fluid situation. I was sitting in the Seanad while listening to this meeting on my earphones, so I believe I picked up most of what was said. The digital Covid certificate is being used by hospitality in respect of vaccinated status and recovered status, as it were, but currently not in respect of antigen or PCR tests.

What is the logic behind one hour and 45 minutes? None of the witnesses are from NPHET, but can any of them explain to me why that time applies to people who are fully vaccinated and where social distancing is in place?
