As set out in S.I. 135/2021, as amended, a person holding either an accepted proof of vaccination or proof of recovery is also required to hold a relevant test result in the form of-

- a negative PCR test result taken within 72 hours of arrival or

- a negative antigen test result taken within 48 hours of arrival.

The definition of a relevant test result in S.I. 135/2021 does not require the test to be taken in the country of departure.
