S.I. 135 of 2021 provides for the testing and quarantine travel measures for arrivals to Ireland from overseas based on their country of departure and whether they hold accepted evidence of vaccination, recovery or a negative RT-PCR test result.

The Digital COVID Certificates are issued in EU Member States as proof of a medical event which has taken place in that Member State, including proof of vaccination and recovery as well as of a COVID-19 test result.

Travellers to Ireland from overseas may show a Digital COVID Certificate based on vaccination or recovery upon entry to Ireland in place of a negative RT-PCR test result. Only arrivals from designated states are required to present both proof of vaccination or recovery and a negative PCR test result upon arrival to Ireland.
