Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

Implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate: Discussion

Ms Elizabeth Canavan:

There is a separate briefing by officials from the relevant Departments. My understanding is that, because there will be unvaccinated people present, be they people who are under 18 years of age and who are with their parents or members of staff, all of the other non-pharmaceutical interventions, for example, social distancing, will be kept in place for the moment. Those details are being worked out with the hospitality sector. I understand that there will be a meeting of officials with the sector later this afternoon. There will be more detailed guidance.
