The development would see the requirement for a Covid test for vaccinated people dropped which has been a pain in the arse for travelling Celtic fans and an added match day expense. Hopefully this will come into play for Hibs game at home on Monday 17 January and the Scottish Government lift restrictions on only 500 spectators allowed at football games.
Unvaccinated passengers would still show a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before arrival back into Ireland
The measure would require agreement at Cabinet.

The original measure was introduced to stop the new Omicron variant coming into Ireland. But now that the new variant is the dominant strain of the virus, ministers are considering whether to drop the requirement for a Covid test for vaccinated travellers.
In Britain, it’s understood pre-departure coronavirus tests for arriving travellers are likely to be scrapped.
The testing rules for international travel will be discussed at a meeting of the cabinet’s Covid-19 operations (Covid-O) committee today.

The UK’s transport secretary Grant Shapps is understood to be pressing for a relaxation of restrictions to help the airline sector.
There have been calls to drop the requirement for fully vaccinated travellers to take a PCR test after arriving in the UK – but such a move may be opposed by the department of health and social care.
