People who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 may be allowed to skip hotel quarantine if a digital vaccine certification is introduced, the Transport Minister has said.

It comes as an Irish man returning from Israel, who was fully-vaccinated against coronavirus, and an Israeli healthcare worker, also fully-vaccinated against Covid-19 challenged the lawfulness of their detention in mandatory hotel quarantine.
