Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Covid Testing for International Travel into and out of Ireland: Discussion

Mr. Keith Comiskey:

We would be hoping to have the process in place in a matter of weeks. I cannot give a definite date but we would be hopeful that within a few weeks we will be able to issue the certificates based on a booster dose. The general principle of the digital Covid certificate regulation from the EU is that member states have an obligation to issue a certificate to people when they have been vaccinated. We are very conscious of that and are working with our European partners and the HSE to roll that out as soon as possible.
