Thomas Byrne responds to report Government warned of 10 hour delays at airports when non-essential travel resumes

The digital green certificate is the best potential way to reduce delays at airports for people travelling within the EU, Minister of State for European AffairsResponding to reports that the Cabinet had been warned of delays of up to 10 hours at airports as non-essential air travel prepares to return from July 19th Mr Byrne said “if we didn’t have the digital green certificate I can absolutely see why those delays would happen”.

But with the digital Covid certificate “there is a standardised way of looking at things - and its’ a very simple extra check, just like a passport, or boarding pass in a standard form”.Gavan ReillyThe digital Covid certificate is aimed to help EU residents demonstrate whether they have been vaccinated when travelling within the bloc. The system has been developed at the insistence of member states that are economically reliant on tourism in the hope it will help to ease travel restrictions.

He added that the French government has invited health and European affairs ministers members to a meeting on Tuesday and to look at travel restrictions and travel into EU.

Ireland to operate EU Digital Covid Cert from 19 JulyTaoiseach Micheál Martin has said that Ireland will begin operating the EU Digital Covid Cert from 19 July. For countries with their own green passport in place, can they enter Ireland before the 19th of July? Also, why are anti gen tests still not being approved for travellers? A family with children over 7 will have to pay 150e each for a pcr test as it stands. Technically we can still travel to Spain right now right with a negative pcr there and back right? We're still waiting to hear about partners being able to join their wives in the hospital just prior the labor! Does anybody care about their mental health in this crucial moment? It seems that no one cares because by denying them to be with their wives that’s what you’re doing.

EU medicines regulator approves Pfizer Covid vaccine for children aged 12-15The decision needs to be rubber-stamped by the European Commission and individual national regulators. Anyone who thinks vaccinating kids who are immune to this flu renamed a virus is deluded. Why though, it's been reported for the last 18 months that kids are only mildy effected by it.
