Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate

Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

I thank Deputy Shortall. I can assure her that we did not make the changes without an assessment of the data protection implications. The app advisory group, which I chair, met and considered the matter and after deliberation approved the addition of the additional function.

The data protection impact assessment has been updated accordingly and it is publicly available on our websites. The data protection impact notice - a shorter, more accessible document - has also been updated. We have, therefore, fulfilled all our obligations under data protection in respect of the app.
