Taoist Michael Martin hinted that people could spend their holidays abroad until the end of July.

Martin told RTE that Ireland will participate in the European Union Digital Passport. He said staff are working on the technology and logistics needed to implement this.

The EU digital passport will provide evidence that a person has been vaccinated against COVID-19, received a negative test result, or recovered from COVID-19.

“If vaccination is given in a way that is synergistic with Europe, the travel situation will open up. By the end of the summer, the United States and other countries will be doing well, ”Taoich said.

However, he was reluctant to confirm the bright summer for vacationers, and the current advice for the months of May and June is that people should avoid all trips that are not necessary.

He believes the government will get a clearer picture if it can allow tourists by the end of June.

He said: “We can never be separated. Ireland is a globalized country. We must assess all risks as we move forward. ”

“The trip could resume in the second half of July.”

So, when will mobile access to popular homes and international travel resume from May 10?
