View answerBetween 5 December 2021 and 5 January 2022, all travellers coming to Ireland were required to present a negative COVID-19 PCR or antigen test result regardless of vaccination or recovery status.
Since 6 January 2022, international passengers to Ireland with an accepted proof of vaccination, or an accepted proof of recovery from COVID-19 do not have to show an additional pre-departure Covid test result. Passengers without proof of vaccination, or proof of recovery from COVID-19 are still required evidence of a negative / not-detected PCR test result taken within 72 hours prior to arriving in Ireland.
