Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said he would prefer if the Covid cert was not needed, but said it was proportionate in light of the presence of the virus.

The Government had intended to abolish the cert by October 22, but has now extended its presence until at least February amid criticism and concern about the impact it will have on personal liberties.
