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

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Ms Canavan and all our guests. As I was listening, I was busily checking my email, my spam folders and everything else. Like many people, I imagine I am using the email that I use for signing up to races, GoFundMe, or Facebook, so it is basically a spam email anyway.

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

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I am half vaccinated. There is a perfect breeding ground for the Delta variant at the moment. What is the email going to say and what will be in the subject line to make it easy for people to do a quick check?

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

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Mr. Lowry. I know it is a simple question but that could probably allay certain fears, including my own.

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

Ruairí Ó Murchú: Regarding the generation of certificates based on negative tests, the Department gives a document out to some of these companies and they have to work to the specification. What interaction is involved? How easy will this be? Did the witnesses foresee any operational issues with these companies being able to upload data to the Department to produce a digital Covid certificate?

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

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

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I will. This is a significant issue, particularly for those who have been tested or vaccinated in the North. I did not hear Mr. O'Connor's earlier answer as the connection was not great. What is the timeline with regard to giving people who were vaccinated in other parts of the EU, Britain or the North a digital Covid certificate on that basis? I get that the current priority is those who...

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

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank Ms Canavan for the clearest opening statement ever. Some of this could have been answered. We know things are changing and will be as regards whether booster shots are needed. I assume the digital Covid certificate contains information that will always be there in regard to the date of second vaccination. I may have missed it, but will it be issued straightaway to people as soon...

Proceeds of Crime (Investment in Disadvantaged Communities) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 Jul 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I thank everyone who contributed. Everyone is generally in agreement on the necessity of this legislation or type of solution. We all get the natural justice aspect of those people who have done harm to the communities, in that the money is taken and put back into those communities to add extra funding to necessary projects that make life better. I will not reiterate my whole point but...

Proceeds of Crime (Investment in Disadvantaged Communities) (Amendment) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (8 Jul 2021)

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I add my voice to what Deputy Ward has put very eloquently. What he said is from the heart. He is talking about the community he comes from, which has been absolutely ravaged by the organised criminal gangs that prey on really good people. This is all about natural justice. We do not for a second believe that this one small item of legislation or one very small solution is going to...

Ruairí Ó Murchú: I reiterate much of what has already been said, particularly by my colleagues, Deputy Martin Kenny and Patricia Ryan. It has also been said by Deputy Nash. That is hands across the constituency but it might not continue. It is very difficult to speak against a consumer protection Bill. In fairness, most people have dealt with the dangers of personal contract plans. These are something...
