Ireland committed to European Digital Green Cert for travel

The Seanad today heard that Ireland is backing plans for the introduction of the certificate for a 12-month term to facilitate the re-introduction of travel.

The digital green cert will include proof of vaccination, proof of a negative test result or proof of immunity after recovery from a recent Covid-19 infection. File Image.

The new European Digital Green Cert is not designed to be a vaccine passport but merely a document to facilitate international travel, the Government has insisted.

The regulation is proposed to be a temporary pandemic measure, lasting for 12 months, it has been confirmed.
