Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate: Discussion

Ms Elizabeth Canavan:

It is important to say that carriers are already being asked to check for a paper version of the PLF. That is not a new check and is one they have already been doing. Obviously, we are very aware of the need to avoid congestion, so we are encouraging people to make sure they have full information and have their checklist as to what they need in advance. We are making that very clear in all the available information on our websites. The other thing we are doing, in line with EU guidance, is that we want to have those checks done at the departure stage, and not at the arrivals stage, because that would clog up the system even more. That is the approach we have taken in line with EU guidance.
