    None of this is affected by the Dail , it's the Cabinet and government departments that do all of it with the HSE taking care of most of the health aspects. Plans to get the country up and running are already there. They go into recess every year, even during the craziness of 2009-2014.

    Currently on the line waiting for 40 minutes let's see how long it takes. Vaccinated in pharmacy 2 weeks ago and no sign of DCC.

    Got my J&J jab on Friday just gone in a pharmacy. I got the cert last night in an email even though I wasn’t expecting it for a few weeks and the pharmacist said it would be posted out. Either way happy it was so quick.

    I got my second vaccine on Sunday afternoon.

    I got my digital cert through email last night.

    It went into my "promotions" filtered emails for some reason.

    I suggest people check their various email folders to make sure they didn't miss it

    I am in the same boat as you. I was vaccinated in the pharmacy just over 2 weeks ago and I am due to travel this week. I got through to the line twice. The first time was last week and they had no information on me at all and they said this was due to a known issue with the pharmacies data not being available to them.

    I also got through on Monday and I was then on the system but the address was not 100% correct and they had no email. I was told they could not give me a timeframe or speed up the issuing of the cert, even though I am travelling this week. So now I am worried that a letter is out there it won't reach me because the address is not right.

    Double vaccinated since May, no cert, just a useless cardboard vaccination record which is of no use.

    Currently on hold for 60 mins, which me luck!

    Got through after 1 hour 33 mins - my DOB and address was wrong on the cert. It was ticked as "sent" but the changes were made and I will hopefully have it by Friday as he said I was due to travel the 27th.

    GoMo has now confirmed (contrary to previous information provided to me) : Network providers usually cap call lengths at 2 hours due to fair usage policies and also to avoid lines being left accidentally open and clogging up capacity.

    Fully jabbed since 6th July (via HSE portal, not GP or pharmacy). No sign of the cert as yet. I'm not urgently waiting on it (as in I'm not travelling abroad), but it will be useful when dining opens next week....

    Due to get my 2nd dose tomorrow at the GP (Pfizer).

    Didn't intend to make things complicated but here we are with this cert.. I got my first dose about a month ago in The Netherlands, so HSE doesn't have that one in their systems.

    The GP advised that they can enter my 2nd dose tomorrow as the 2nd dose and upload that to the HSE, which could trigger the travel cert to be send out. Would they only look there for 2nd doses to trigger the covid certs?

    That sounds great, but I'm a bit sceptical after reading on here. Anyone has experience with something similar, where the first dose was not registered and the 2nd dose done at a different location?

    Currently waiting 2 hours on the helpline. It says I am over 90 minutes away from being answered, as it has said for 2 hours. Does anybody know if this goes down as you get closer to being answered? Would mean I could ignore the on hold music with a bit more security I won't miss my slot.

    I've checked the HSE website and it's 7 days after 2nd dose of Pfizer to be deemed fully vaccinated, some countries are 14 days after the 2nd jab but France is only 7 days after the 2nd Pfizer. I've looked on the various places and it says fully vaccinated coming to Ireland no test required, so in theory you should be OK as it's the country you are flying to that matters in relation to what is deemed fully vaccinated.

    They don't have your email

    Yours is a classic case of needing to call

    Same with my husband, a paramedic. No sign of his coming even though he is fully vaccinated since March.

    Did anyone get their Recovery cert since contacting helpline? I made it through to talk to Helpline on Monday morning and have requested by recovery cert, but it still haven't arrived.

    Also does anyone know if it was supposed to come by email or post?

    There is no back of the queue, nearly 2 million were mailed/emailed where possible.

    If they didn't have you on file, or if your details were incomplete/incorrect, then they didn't issue.

    I'd check the source (in your case the hospital) that your details were all submitted correctly (Name/PPS/DoB/Address/Email).

    I don't mean calling back the Dail but I put this akin to the passport fiasco 2-3 years ago when government and passport officials were stating that there were delays but people weren't inconvenienced too much etc. However opposition TDs were able to throw back plenty of examples that meant people were waiting months and needed them.

    Same with this cert, you shouldn't have to wait hours to get through to get something you're entitled to and if there is an issue, it should be solved quickly by an escalation team.

    From experience, much of the hospital vaccinations near the start didn't do a great job of data entry. Lots of addresses and other details wrong.

    For those flying, if 7 days after your second (pfizer) vaccine and you get the cert you'll be fine entering.

    Looking at this thread I'd be avoiding getting in touch unless I had urgent need for the pass. Complete disaster!

    I hope it gets sorted. I got through today again and the guy was a lot more helpful. He doubled checked all my details and said it would be escalated and that I would received an email with the cert in 72 hours so fingers crossed.

    The reason for the Revenue envelopes is simply that the have the printing technology to do a mass mailing of certificates.

    It makes more sense to just use that than to have outsourced it.
