The first EU Digital Covid Certificates (DCC) will be issued to almost 2m fully vaccinated people in Ireland next week — but there is already an acknowledgement from the Government that there could be “teething problems” as the system is rolled out.

As some details were announced yesterday, many questions emerged about how the system will work in less than two weeks, with assurances from Government that a one-stop webpage and call centre will be established to answer questions about travel advice, passports and mandatory hotel quarantine.
