Is a text saying my covid test came negative sufficient proof for travel?

I know the 3 requirements for travel: proof of being fully vaccinated, proof of recovery in previous 6 months or proof of negative pcr test within the last 72 hours. I got tested yesterday as a precaution for work but I'm not a direct close contact of someone who is positive. I haven't gotten a text yet but if and when I do is the text sufficient evidence?

I'm also fully vaccinated by my GP over 2 weeks ago.

You need the Digital Covid Cert for travel. An SMS is of no use. See here https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/d2821-how-to-get-a-digital-covid-certificate-after-a-negative-covid-test/

Or just get the cert based on your vaccination status

As above, you are entitled to a digital Covid certificate.

HSE Covid tests cannot be used for travel, so the text will not work for you. This was stated over and over and over again on all media for weeks when the 19 July travel date was announced.
