What isn't publicly confirmed

  • Procurement award, contractor and contract value
  • Parliamentary readings, enactment and commencement of the bill
  • Certification scheme, assessor and certificate
  • Commission notification and listing
  • Eligibility for residents, e-residents and minors
  • Production RP register and access certificates

Why it matters for Ireland

Shows a mature-eID state still needing a separate wallet programme and tracking inbound acceptance separately from domestic launch; Ireland's MyGovID is in the same position.
