The European Parliament agreed a position on the digital green certificate in April. The Oireachtas health committee asked for a technical briefing on how this legislation would impact on both domestic and foreign restrictions. We were told this week that we would not get a briefing. The committee had planned to meet on the week we are supposedly off. The cyberattack is obviously a problem that the Department of Health and the HSE will be dealing with for some weeks, but it has not stopped health legislation being discussed and passed in this House. When will the Bill to enact the digital green certificate be brought forward? Will time be given to the health committee and the Dáil to discuss and scrutinise legislation since it will have far-reaching consequences on freedom of movement?

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.
