Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
Mr. Barry Lowry:
You can use any European trust adviser. I suspect, as this starts to take off, that more capability will be introduced from Ireland in itself. People in Ireland have been watching how eIDAS has developed. It has been slow. As I said in my opening remarks, the technology solution did not take the phone into account, whereas even in 2016, people generally thought that the phone was the future of carrying your identity. We used it and it was something we were comfortable with. As I said earlier, we now are using it for shopping and so on. In Ireland, we will see growth in this area as it is recognised that this will move forward quite quickly.
