Ms Elizabeth Canavan:

The regulations and rules that will apply to hospitality are currently in development. They are not the work of this particular group in terms of the standard that will be required. It is fair to say that as it stands, we have been recognising the NHS certification. A person, therefore, does not need an Irish certificate in order for it to be recognised. It simply needs to meet a certain standard and that will be set out in regulations. For the purposes of travel, that standard is set out in regulations.
