Mr. Barry Lowry:

The Deputy is right. There are two parts to the process. The first is the recognition of the QR code in a country. The second is that they update their travel rules. The Deputy is right. However, we are entirely dependent on other countries to go through the process correctly. In the early days when there were teething problems, we found that they do not always do that. Without naming specific countries, people from some countries came in with certificates that were not correct. We could not read the certificates with our verifier app. When we investigated that, we found that they had not engaged with the EU system properly. The error was at their end. We are dependent on countries keeping the EU interoperability portal current. There is not a lot Ireland can do, other than to make that representation by means of our health engagement through the committee, which we can do.
