Well Jackie. I'm sure that your investigation and follow up contacting were
instrumental in ensuring the app's accessibility, so take a bow.
Now, I'm off to download the app.

Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly said a Covid tracker app will be
launched tomorrow that will be a "really powerful part" in tracking
the disease. He said the app will allow people to control their own
data, saying it is a very powerful tool and they encourage as many
people as possible to download it.
Minister Donnelly has said that the new app will not tell you whether
you have tested positive, "you will be informed through the existing
testing regime", he said.
He explained that if you have tested positive, and have downloaded the
app, you then give permission to notify those who you have been in
close contact with, that you have tested positive.
He added that these people can then avail of testing too.
"It's exciting; it means we can move quicker to a much more
comprehensive 'seek and destroy' regime essentially. But we are all
going to have to play our part. Download it, talk to your family, and
encourage people to download it."
