Vaccinated Irish expats may be able to obtain EU Covid Cert

The EU Digital Covid Certificate is designed to help individuals travel more safely and smoothly within the European Union and European Economic Area.

Vaccinated Irish expats residing outside the European Union may be able to obtain an EU digital Covid certificate, Simon Coveney has suggested. 

The foreign affairs minister, responding to a parliamentary question raised by Green Party TD Patrick Costello, said the government will "actively consider" issuing the EU Covid-19 vaccine certificate to Irish people who have been vaccinated in countries outside of the EU.
