Those looking forward to indoor dining will need to bring their EU Digital Covid-19 Certificate, a HSE vaccine card and a form of ID as proof that they've been fully vaccinated, or have recently recovered from Covid-19.
The guidelines read: "Businesses may refuse access where people cannot offer proof of immunity or recovery or cannot demonstrate that their certificate relates to them."
Under-18 year olds will not need to produce any sort of proof in order to dine with their parents or guardians.
The HSE's chief executive Paul Reid said: "As hospitality, society and the economy opens up further, let's all embrace it safely and make it work."
Mr Reid pointed to the recent rise in cases and patients in the intensive care unit. However, he acknowledged that huge progress has been made in Ireland's vaccination programme.
Over 5.5 million vaccines have been administered. As of right now, 83% of adults have been partially vaccinated, while 68% have been fully vaccinated.Explore more on these topics:
