Reporters asked An Taoiseach if he got a response, to which he said: "We haven't got a formal reply yet, but I think today's announcement is as good as it gets."
Ireland's Minister of Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney also welcomed the news, and said it was something the government has been "advocating for a considerable time".
Mr Coveney added: "With 90% of Irish adults now fully vaccinated, I know this will come as very good news for many in Ireland, the Irish living in the United States, as well as our American friends with links to Ireland and the rest of Europe."
Daniel Mulhall, Ireland's Ambassador to the USA, welcomed the announcement for eased travel restrictions.
He said: "This very positive development will bring welcome relief to so many Irish people who have been separated from family for the past 18 months because of the #travelban."
