I propose to take Questions Nos. 510 and 529 together.

The Digital COVID Certificate Regulation is intended to facilitate people’s fundamental right to move and reside freely and help to support the lifting of restrictions currently in place in a coordinated manner within the EU.

As the Minister for Health, I am supporting the work of my Department in collaborating with relevant Departments under the leadership of the Department of Taoiseach to assist in the implementation of this Regulation to prepare for the introduction of EU Digital COVID Certificates both for those travelling to the country and those travelling from the country.
