Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-24
============================================================

Thomas Byrne (FF), Meath East

We spoke in favour of the digital green certificate at the General Affairs Council this week. The Taoiseach will do so tomorrow. On Monday, I met European Commissioner Didier Reynders, who is in charge of this area, to discuss how it is proposed to advance this proposal. It is an important proposal. The Taoiseach wants to make sure we can do all of the work that is necessary on the technical side to ensure its availability, initially for medical purposes, but let us see where that goes.
