The Department of Foreign Relations has said that as of October 12 there will be no countries on the Green Travel List.
When countries are on the list, people can travel there from Ireland without restricting their movements on their return.
Currently, there are four countries on the Green List: Cyprus, Finland, Latvia and Liechtenstein.
The list includes European / EEA countries with a 14-day cumulative number of Covid-19 cases per 100,000 of 25 or less, which is based on data from the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control.
The department says that updates to the Green List are made on the database every Thursday.
However, upon a review of the most recent data, no country was found to be below the required 14-day cumulative number of Covid-19 cases.
In a statement, the Department of Foreign Affairs said: “The Green List was revised based on ECDC data on Thursday 8 October. As no EU / EEA country was below the required 14-day cumulative number of COVID-19 cases, there will be no countries on the Green List as of Monday, October 12.
“The next review will be Thursday, October 15, and the changes will take effect on Monday, October 19.
“In the meantime, Ireland continues to work with EU partners to finalize negotiations on the new Council Recommendation on intra-Union travel coordination (‘EU traffic light system’).”
