What isn't publicly confirmed

  • Final text and commencement of the EUDI Royal Decree
  • Legally designated wallet provider, PID provider and supervisor

Why it matters for Ireland

Spain built its wallet in-house from an age-verification precursor and is legislating governance last; a reminder that a demo-ready app still needs the legal designation Ireland also lacks.
