The announcement of the green list of countries it's safe to travel to has been delayed due to the ongoing EU summit in Brussels.
There has been slow progress in talks over a budget and pandemic rescue package, worth a combined 1.8 trillion euro.
EU leaders have been in negotiations since Friday to decide on the EU's budget for the next seven years and what form a 750 billion euro pandemic recovery fund will take.
There's division over whether it should be made up of grants or loans and what conditions are attached.
But there was some progress yesterday, a revised plan has replaced 50 billion euro in grant aid with loans, with the headline figure of 750 billion unchanged.
The ongoing talks in Brussels mean a meeting of Cabinet here today will now be delayed.
It was expected that ministers would sign off on a 'green list' of countries it's safe to travel to at the meeting.
However, that's now set to take place later this week.
