In that regard, we are already getting many queries around the digital Covid certificate. Ms Canavan might look at setting up an Oireachtas liaison contact for us to interact with. That would make the system very streamlined. To clarify one thing, I am correct in saying that when the digital Covid certificate comes into play, people under the age of six do not require one and can accompany their parents regardless, but people between the age of seven and 17 will require a negative PCR test. For people coming from the UK, that point has to be clarified yet. Those under the age of six will be able to travel, regardless of their circumstances. Obviously, they will not vaccinated. In regard to people between the age of seven and 17, that point is still to be clarified. I presume that will apply to other designated countries outside the EU as well. Would Ms Canavan confirm my reading of that is correct?
