    Quite a lot of media coverage on this.

    Would suggest listen back to RTÉs “Saturday with Katie hannon” show from yest

    Should be available as a podcast or stream on the RTÉ radio 1 site.

    The media or the Government have not mentioned anything as to how it its being rolled-out anywhere i have seen.
    I have also asked around and no-one seems to know when/how it will be implemented.
    I am pretty confident someone here may have an idea...

    This is a discussion forum so it seems you do not want to be part of it.
    That's simply crazy.
    Do you know how its going to be rolled out or not.
    I am sure there be others here also interested...

    Huh? I am trying to be helpful to you by providing you a heads up?

    I know all of that which is why i came here. What i am asking is say...


    I want to get Covid passport.
    How do i go about obtaining this and the exact rules pertaining for same.
    We have been told what we need but not how we can get it.
    I notice on the google that you mention that the EU are accepting the UKs NHS confirmation...
    How will our Covid passport roll-out work...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,618 ✭✭✭IngazZagni


    The basics are known but perhaps there are certain details that aren't as easily known such as what dates each European Countries are implementing this. Ireland is July 19th. Others are July 1st and there could even be some implementing it in August?
    Also some Countries only require an Antigen test but Ireland requires the more expensive PCR test etc.

    Some people forget that non vaccinated people from the States and possibly even the UK still need to home quarantine and undergo additional tests under the current rules proposed even with a negative PCR test.

    The rules are still preventing full free travel.

    I was assuming there was a system in place where we could we would be able to obtain Covid passports we were told we have signed up for....
    It seems no-one here knows either...

    If you'd taken the trouble to read literally anything about it you'd know that the details aren't available yet.

    Because it's May. The system is to be introduced by the EU on 21 June and member states have up to 6 weeks to implement it. It will be July before it's implemented here so expecting details in May is unrealistic, given the every evolving situation with Covid and with IT issues in Ireland.

    M


    Likely it will be a smartphone app linked to your passport or data held/added to your passport so that when it's electronically scanned it shows you as being vaccinated. It will not be a piece of paper.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭maestroamado

    Point me to where you read that as i have being looking....

    Then when the announcement was made they should simply said this.
    I did read that all of the data was on the HSE system and this may present a problem...

    I do not know how long it would take to set an app to do all of this.
    There may already be an app in place like there is in other places...
    I find it confusing that we were not told of the roll-out of this..

    Plenty of information for you here. Looks like July 1st is the proposed launch date. https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/ireland-to-welcome-travellers-from-eu-us-uk-from-july-19/

    That's not really what is been asked.
    When will the roll-out of the actual document/app happen.
    It is already in place in UK and some EU countries...

    You are the only person who doesn't know the roll out on this. The EU has given the start date. The Taoiseach and various ministers have given the exact date on which it will be implemented in Ireland. The details of how it works were posted on this thread. Every newspaper and TV and radio station has covered it.

    All of the info you mention is everywhere but that is not what i asked

    No-one has said how and when we can get this certificate.
    This is what i ask but you want to talk about something everyone knows and avoid the topic...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,178 ✭✭✭killbillvol2

    You've been saying you couldn't find any info anywhere?

    It's in two links on this thread. The Taoiseach gave the exact date. The EU described how the process will work.

    So the EU told you how, as did every news outlet and the government told you when, as did every news outlet.

    In fact every detail that's available has been given on this thread.

    Right, from what I can gather, when you've had both vaccines you can go online somewhere and get this certificate either on your phone or as paper print out. This then gets scanned at the airport going and coming and that's the only difference to normal travelling unless you are going to or coming from one of the higher risk countries. If you're not fully vaccinated you can still get the certificate if you can get a pcr test or prove that you have had the virus within the last 6 months.

    I will be fully vaccinated by July 1st so I will be able to travel to pretty much all of the EU and Switzerland without restriction. I see the UK is on some countries mandatory quarantine lists.

    I think I'm right in this but I would welcome correction.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,839 ✭✭✭endofrainbow


    Do you know where this 'mystery online portal' is so I can register?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭maestroamado


    My gut feeling is we will not be ready as HSE have all the data and they cannot pass this on to whoever setting up the app.
    I did get a hint a couple of weeks ago that travel may be based on the percentage of people who have had jab...
    July 1st and July 19th are both mentioned and i do not understand what the two dates mean.
    I do expect we will be able to travel but it could change in a week depending on what happens everywhere...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭maestroamado

    I have been advised here that if i google July 19th all be revealed...

    It will be launched closer to 19 July

    It doesn’t exist in Ireland yet. The EU released a map today showing the counties which (1) have satisfied the technical requirements and are issuing digital covid certs (2) the countries which have satisfied the technical requirements but are not yet issuing and (3) the countries which satisfy neither.

    Can you where Ireland which stated it “wants to be in the first wave” is, yes you guessed correctly category (3) along with Norway, Finland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary.

    According to the map ireland is in the testing phase along with Norway, Finland, Slovakia, Slovenia and Hungary. But according to the table Ireland is "Technically ready to connect to the EUDCC gateway" along with most other countries apart from the seven who appear to be ready to rock.

    No doubt our genius minister will clarify tomorrow where we sit exactly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭maestroamado


    I wonder is it a realistic option to enter this travel arrangement without having confirmed vaccine data.
    All of our vaccine data is locked in HSE system and that could be weeks to sort out.
    We were certainly bounced into this on by the EU as our Government did not expect things to happen this quick.
    There is no travel app in this country that i am aware as the passenger form is just an email confirmation unless it changed.

    So what's your alternative? Everyone in the EU marks time until we get our sh1t together.

    The best option is we all stay at home as advised.
    I'm surprised O'Leary not on about it as it must be effecting sales in Ireland.
    Then Ryanair said a few weeks ago about shifting planes from here to elsewhere in Europe...

    The HSE were at pains to point out last week that the vaccination data system was not affected. Anyone who has been to a vaccination centre recently will tell you that their data systems are operational.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 389 ✭✭Vaccinated30


    I really haven't laughed so much in ages
    Vaccine data is not Locked in the HSE attack.
    As for OP telling us to Stay Home, I did for 15 months. My next home will be Mountjoy if I have to stay here any longer.
