Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals

Mr. Barry Lowry:

It would be built with ownership and control entirely in the hands of the Government, but using our partners. If we take an example such as the creation of the digital Covid certificate, we used an Irish partner based in Waterford for that project. It is very good and probably one of the leading technology companies in Europe. The Department of Health and the HSE, however, retained ownership and control of the rules for how the system works and the processes involved, etc. Delivery was undertaken by several technology partners, including the OGCIO, the Revenue Commissioners and private sector companies. I foresee this project working in the same way.
