- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)
Róisín Shortall: I thank all our guests for attending. My first question relates to the Covid tracker app and the decision to allow the DCC information to be uploaded on to that. The witnesses might explain how the Department of Health and the HSE made these changes to the app without a proper data impact assessment having been carried out.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)
Róisín Shortall: I want to go back to that issue of the Minister of State, Deputy Smith, and the tweet saying that the DCC is not essential for travelling. There is much confusion around this generally. I full appreciate that as officials, the witnesses have been asked to do many things in a very short space of time and some of them questionable. What now is the advice that Ms Canavan would give to people...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)
Róisín Shortall: Would Ms Canavan say to people it is not essential to have that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)
Róisín Shortall: I will pose the question a different way. Can the vaccine certificate or negative test results be used in place of the DCC?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)
Róisín Shortall: That needs to be clarified.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)
Róisín Shortall: That is saying the DCC is not essential, which has caused a lot of confusion and inconvenience to people.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)

Róisín Shortall: I am sorry; if Mr. Gilbride does not mind, can he answer that question? Have those two agencies been provided with additional resources?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)
Róisín Shortall: Because the effects on travel have been so incredibly lax over the past year or so, can Mr. Gilbride send us on the details of the additional resources, including staff resources, that will be available to both of those agencies?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)
Róisín Shortall: I have two quick questions. Following on from the previous question, I have had a few complaints from people who are in their 70s and who were vaccinated by their GPs at an earlier enough stage. These would seem to be straightforward cases, but those involved have not yet received their certificates. Is there an issue with GPs? I am wondering why it would be the case that the people to...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Update on the Roll-out of the EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate (21 Jul 2021)
Róisín Shortall: That is new information. Most people who received the vaccine from their GPs expected to get letters. That is what they were being told initially, but Mr. McCallion is saying that some of those will get emails instead.
