Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Broadband Infrastructure: Discussion (7 Jul 2021)

Joe Carey: I thank Mr. Campbell. The common issue brought to my attention is one where many houses have a service and, in the middle, there are a number of houses that do not have access and will have to wait seven years to get service.

If one receives an email with the certificate, that is okay, but those who were vaccinated in a GP's surgery will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate: Discussion (13 Jul 2021)

Joe Carey: To return to the issue of generating a certificate by means of getting a negative test, will antigen tests be an acceptable format of tests in Ireland?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate: Discussion (13 Jul 2021)

Joe Carey: That is perfect. If someone is going to Spain or Portugal or wherever and that country accepts antigen testing, when he or she is departing an antigen test will suffice but when he or she is returning to Ireland, he or she will need to take a PCR test.

Which...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate: Discussion (13 Jul 2021)

Joe Carey: What type of impact did the cyberattack on the HSE have on the preparations to deliver this programme? Obviously, it must have had an impact. Our guests have used systems to bypass that impact and I commend them on that. I ask them to take us through what had to be done to navigate that difficulty.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Implementation of the EU Digital Covid Certificate: Minister of State at the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform (14 Jul 2021)

Joe Carey: I have a last question about the application itself. For people who would not be digitally minded, can it be made easier for the public to use it and upload from the certificate that people get in the post? Will the Minister of State describe how someone would upload that? Will it be made easier? What would the Minister of State advise? Will a video be posted online to show people what to do?
