Covid-19: No EU vaccine certificate for Irish passport holders in NI

Most Irish passport holders who live in Northern Ireland will not be able to use the EU Digital Covid Certificate. That is in spite of Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) Mícheál Martin and other senior Irish government ministers indicating that they would. The vaccine 'passport' to facilitate international travel comes into effect in the Republic of Ireland on Monday. It will make journeys within the EU easier for people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19. Last week, more than two million people in the Republic of Ireland got their certificates, which contain QR codes, by email and post.
