""It will be able to facilitate secure age verification capability as set out in Digital Ireland and the implementation of the Online Safety Code, under which designated platforms must have age verification measures in place to help protect, in particular, children and young people from online harm.""

The Irish government is testing its Government Digital Wallet, which will allow users to verify their age for social media access. The wallet will store digital versions of various identification documents. The testing phase aims to inform the wallet's development and ensure user-friendliness. Ireland must implement a digital wallet by the end of 2026 due to EU regulations. The pilot will be opt-in, and feedback is encouraged through a government survey. Other EU countries are also developing age verification methods.
