There are serious doubts in Government that the EU Digital Covid Certificate will be ready in time to allow foreign travel to start by July 19.

The potential delay is even more embarrassing given that Ireland is the only country in the EU yet to introduce the Digital Covid Certificate, which came into effect on July 1.
