More than 1.3 million emails and letters containing the EU Digital Covid Certificate have been issued to people who have been fully vaccinated so far.
Minister of State for eGovernment Ossian Smyth told an Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications that 984,000 emails and 350,000 letters have been sent.
The Government aims to have 1.8 million issued by Monday 19 July. Of the emails sent, 7,500 have "bounced", which is failure to send rate of 0.7%.
Minister Smyth told Fine Gael's Joe Carey that "when you have a database of emails and more than 99% of them are delivering, that's an incredibly high-quality data set".
