I propose to take Questions Nos. 2265, 2342, 2533, 2708, 2795, 2884, 2893, 2894, 3093 and 3174 together.

The Digital COVID Certificate Regulation is intended to facilitate people’s fundamental right to move and reside freely and help to support the lifting of restrictions currently in place in a coordinated manner within the EU.

As the Minister for Health, I am supporting the work of my Department in collaborating with relevant Departments under the leadership of the Department of Taoiseach to assist in the on-going implementation of the EU Digital COVID Certificates.

Arrangements for provision of vaccination certificates to Irish citizens not vaccinated in Ireland will be considered once the initial roll-out is in place.
