People going to pubs and restaurants will soon have to show proof that they got their Covid booster jab.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin said new Digital Covid Certs will be issued automatically to booster recipients.
It is understood that the process will start before the end of next week.
“The HSE is now working on including the booster within the vaccination record and cert,” Mr Martin said.
“Government decisions will have to be taken. It is very clear to us that the benefits of the booster are very significant right now, above all, preventing severe illness from Omicron.”
As the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) are set to meet on Thursday, the Cabinet has decided that passengers arriving in Ireland are no longer required to produce a negative Covid-19 test.
It is understood that the Government will also ask the chief medical officer, Dr Tony Holohan, to consider reviewing the rules for people who are identified as close contacts and are fully vaccinated.
Meanwhile, the Taoiseach said he does not think there will be any major changes in restrictions.
“The restrictions we have now are set to run until the end of January and the public have responded well to adjustment of behaviour and that is having an impact,” Mr Martin said.
