Covid-19 vaccine passports a 'no brainer', says Nichola Mallon

The introduction of vaccine passports in Northern Ireland is a 'no brainer', the infrastructure minister has said. SDLP MLA Nichola Mallon said she has raised the issue at Stormont executive meetings on 'a number of occasions'. It comes after her party leader Colum Eastwood called for the introduction of vaccine passports earlier this week. 'It's frustrating that we're still sitting having this discussion,' Ms Mallon told the BBC's Sunday Politics programme. Since July, the EU Digital Covid Certificate system has been in operation in the Republic of Ireland.
