"As well as the helpline, we endeavour to constantly improve the Digital COVID Certificate services and the introduction of this online self-service portal provides another channel to allow members of the public request their certificate. Work is underway to develop and launch further accessible channels in the coming weeks to help meet public demand," said the statment.

It requested people to please note that as well as using the Digital COVID Certificate for access to indoor dining, the HSE’s Vaccination Card is also accepted as valid proof of vaccination. Find out more on gov.ie/reopeninghospitality
