Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

I acknowledge the error in the incorrect use of the name of the country. It is being corrected going forward. With the Covid tracker app, if people choose to scan their paper certificates and load electronic versions into digital wallets on their phones, the error relating to the name of the country will be corrected automatically. I take a personal responsibility for what happened here because the Department of Health is the issuing authority. This happened as a result of the pace at which the work was being done and it is an oversight I am sorry for.

The structure of the form otherwise is fixed. We have a balance of Irish and English in the form and it would be unwise to adjust this. The form is the one recognised all over the European Union-----
