Covid-19 vaccine passports a 'no brainer', says Nichola Mallon
The introduction of vaccine passports in Northern Ireland is a "no brainer", the infrastructure minister has said.
SDLP MLA Nichola Mallon said she has raised the issue at Stormont executive meetings on "a number of occasions".
It comes after her party leader Colum Eastwood called for the introduction of vaccine passports earlier this week.
"It's frustrating that we're still sitting having this discussion," Ms Mallon told the BBC's Sunday Politics programme.
Since July, the EU Digital Covid Certificate system has been in operation in the Republic of Ireland.
It is being used as a form of passport to give members of the public access to international travel and hospitality industries.
Ms Mallon said she believed the introduction of a similar scheme in Northern Ireland would act as an incentive for more young people to be vaccinated.
"We know that the level of uptake in vaccines from people aged 18 to 35 is lower here and we know when we look at the south that the introduction of Covid passports acts as an incentive for that age group," she said.
"So, for me it's a no brainer.
"We have to be honest with ourselves. If we want to have a sustainable pathway out of the remaining restrictions, if we want to avoid further lockdown, if we want to protect our health service from unprecedented pressures as it goes into winter, then we need to look to introduce Covid passports."

The Casino Environment Before the recent economic downturn, commercial casinos collected at least $30 billion in revenues each year from 2005 through 2008.1 During this period, US casino owners built new facilities and expanded the size of their existing facilities. As a result of the economic downturn, new US commercial casino construction has come to a screeching halt and casino operators are now focused on existing facility cost reduction. 메이저놀이터

The online casino system has grown tremendously in the last decade or so that it has been in existence - to a point where it is almost surpassing the brick and mortar casino system of the fore. Indeed, though hard statistics are hard to come by, chances are that at this point in time, there are more regular casino players who play on online casinos than there are playing in the traditional brick and mortar casinos. Comparing in terms of playing volumes (amounts of money deposited and winnings earned), online casinos are also likely to win over brick and mortar casinos hands down. 메이저놀이터
