Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I hope members can hear me. I am at the Convention Centre Dublin. I thank Mr. Bassato for attending our committee. I have been listening with interest to everything he has had to say and there are some similarities in some ways in the testing regimes. There is a big difference, however, in how a passenger arriving in Italy is treated. There is no mandatory quarantine and passengers are...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: There is a plan for European countries, for countries in the Schengen area, which is contingent on all of it being signed off and implemented, hopefully by late June. Will the current trial between Rome Fiumicino and JFK International Airport in New York and other US airports continue? ill it coexist once the DGC is in place? Is it considered to be an interim arrangement? Mr. Bassato...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Digital Green Certificate and Rapid Antigen Testing: Discussion (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: This is the nub of everything we need to get to. I doubt many people in Rome are watching the committee but for those watching on home soil, this is the nub of where we need to get to: a digital, e-health application that was trialled by Italy, albeit unilaterally. We need to drill deep into this kind of technology, even if it is rudimentary or a few weeks off full development, that is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Covid-19 Testing and Air Travel: Nuevo Ireland (12 May 2021)

Cathal Crowe: I have a question for Mr. Lord. If we were in blank cheque territory and if, overnight, all the airport authorities in Ireland and the Government said this was a great idea and that we would go with it, to what extent can Nuevo step into the Irish aviation sector? What is its upper capacity in terms of roll-out and testing ability? If we were to see recovery of aviation over the coming...

Cathal Crowe: I am here in Leinster House. I thank the Minister of State for attending our committee and for being proactive and dogged, at times, in her Department in championing those with disabilities.
