The Government is being urged to join with international efforts to secure vaccine passports that would allow Irish businesses to fly out of the country and for international business travellers to fly into the island. 

Fergal O'Brien, director of policy and public affairs at business group Ibec, said that Ireland could lose out on foreign direct investments and small Irish firms will be hindered in rebuilding international orders compared with other countries, as Britain and US make comparatively swift progress in rolling out vaccines.
