The line in their FAQ that states that rooted phones will not work with the app is an indication that they are planning to use only Google's ecosystem for integrity checks (for Android).
There are open source alternatives, such as Unified Attestation that would allow alternative android distributions to work. But unless there is the demand for it, the Irish government have no need to look into this.
This consultation is the opportunity for those who would be affected to have a voice.

It is a pain to access government services without a myGovID versus with one. This Digital Wallet will likely have the same impact. If you think that you can just get by without using it, I think you will be very much at a disadvantage in a few years time. You will be kinda forced to use it. So I am asking you provide feedback and try to help make it an app you will enjoy using. Preferably one that isnt reliant on a Google Account. [3/4]
