Maybe a silly question, I don't know. Please humour me...
Are there any Covid travel rules for Ireland from the UK?
I'm thinking it might be difficult with the sensitivity of border checks. I'm planning on flying into Belfast, then catching a train to Dublin. The website mentions arrivals in Dublin transiting to NI, but not the other way...

Going to France in a couple of weeks and have just seen that my second jab was too long ago to be counted for 'fully vaccinated'.
Travellers can enter the country if their second vaccine was under 9 months ago, but in order to actually do anything while I'm there (shops, bars etc) it needs to have been within 4 months.
Stumbled upon that by absolute chance, but it's a good thing I'd checked!

Thanks for your help people.
to answer your question @Crusty54 I have business to do in Derry and Belfast. I have to get to Dublin simply to fly home to Japan.
are you sure ‘overseas’ wouldn’t include England? I assumed it would from an Irish perspective.

I'm doing the same journey as you next week (fly into Belfast and then drive down to Dublin). I don't anticipate being stopped at the border...

I would be extremely interested to hear how you get on @Spora@SporadicAddick. Would you mind letting me know? Also, are you going to do a Locator form?
I’m trying to avoid 3 day’s hotel quarantine back here, hence my interest.

Exactly this. Common travel agreement means it doesn’t include England. You won’t be stopped at the border (well not for that reason 😜)

No longer required (and indeed it hasn't been from Ireland for some time).
I was in Dublin in November.
This is the current travel advice when returning from Ireland:
If you are fully vaccinated
Before you travel to England you must complete a passenger locator form. You need to do this in the 48 hours before you arrive in England.
You do not need to take any COVID-19 travel tests before you travel to England or after you arrive.
You do not need to quarantine when you arrive in England.
Going to France in a couple of weeks and have just seen that my second jab was too long ago to be counted for 'fully vaccinated'.
Travellers can enter the country if their second vaccine was under 9 months ago, but in order to actually do anything while I'm there (shops, bars etc) it needs to have been within 4 months.

Yes, good job - always check the FCDO Travel Advice before every trip, which included the covid requirements/situation Maybe France is like Spain and you can have your booster right up until you go and don't have to wait 2 weeks for it to be valid

As stated in the travel advice for Ireland I posted above no tests or quarantine required in either direction to/from Ireland if you are fully vaccinated and can show it. You just have to fill in and print an on line form within 48 hours of each journey.
