EU travel pass will not be delayed by HSE cyberattack - minister

The digital green pass would speed up the time at the airport and would involve a bar code. Pre-registration seemed to be the “smarter way to do it” Ossian Smyth added.

Minister of State for Communications, Ossian Smyth has denied there will be any delays in the issuing of the EU’s digital green pass once it is approved by EU leaders.

Speaking on RTÉ radio’s Today with Claire Byrne show, Mr Smyth said it was reasonable to speculate that there could be delays because HSE staff were engaged in returning vital systems following the recent cyber attack.
