DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland will adopt a COVID-19 certificate to help citizens travel more freely across the European Union "as early as possible" and not necessarily by late July as previously flagged, a senior minister said on Friday.

Ireland has the strictest travel curbs in the 27-nation bloc, advising citizens against non-essential travel, imposing fines on people travelling to airports to go on holiday and a two-week mandatory hotel quarantine for arrivals from a number of countries.
