PeppolYes — Office of Government Procurement is the Peppol Authority
Peppol-based, phased approach. Ireland is building entirely on Peppol infrastructure with no national portal. The Office of Government Procurement serves as the Peppol Authority. PDFs will no longer qualify as e-invoices under the mandate — your pipeline must produce EN 16931 structured data. The first phase targets large corporates in November 2028, giving a long runway for implementation.
