Mr. Muiris O'Connor:

Ms Canavan is correct that the initial emphasis is on the 1.9 million certificates arising from vaccinations in Ireland. After 19 July we will move immediately to facilitate the recognition of vaccinations that took place in other jurisdictions. I anticipate that with other EU countries, it may be possible to ingest the QR code, as Mr. Lowry explained, into the Covid-19 tracker app when the wallet facility is developed. We have been liaising for a while in the context of the common travel area on the certification of vaccinations across Northern Ireland and the UK. We envisage this could be achieved in the fortnight beyond 19 July.
