Ireland is "keeping an interest" in possibly making Irish passport holders who live in Northern Ireland eligible for a new EU Covid certificate.
Thomas Byrne, the Republic's minister of state for European affairs, said he had spoken to the country's ambassador in Brussels about the issue.
It comes after a provisional agreement within the EU on the certificate, which is aimed at allowing free movement.
