Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation
Dail Éireann — 2021-06-03
============================================================

Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I will have to check that with the Minister for Health. It might not require legislation in the House because it is a European regulation and, therefore, may have direct effect. Thankfully, the systems that issue the Covid and vaccine certificates have not been affected by the cyberattack so we should be able to issue the digital green certificate, at least for people who are fully vaccinated. It is a bit more complicated where people have had tests and gone to private laboratories and so on. I am not really sure about the legislative picture. I will get back to the Deputy on that when I know for definite because I do not want to misinform him.
