There are currently just four countries on the list: Cyprus, Finland, Latvia and Liechtenstein.
Travellers coming into Ireland from any of these four countries are not required to self-isolate for 14 days, however that will no longer be the case under the updated list.
The current green list will expire on Sunday night at midnight.
