Vaccinated Indonesian residents can fly to Ireland without any restrictions

But if they received the Sinovac vaccine, as most did, they won't be allowed to enter.

I don't think that's the case. According the article above "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told Reuters last week the United States will accept the use by international visitors of COVID-19 vaccines authorized by U.S. regulators or the World Health Organization." Sinovac has been approved the the WHO.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was responding to the situation in the UK.

From what I read, Ireland recognises vaccines based on the EU digital covid certificate, and for a country to be included it has to produce certificates which follow the EU model. However, it is very unclear, with contradictory information online. If you're successful in getting yours recognised, please let us know.

This is going back a bit now - but the system for applying for the EU pass has just opened (they had it only open for UK citizens who received vaccines in the UK till now). I have just applied, so fingers crossed they accept my certs.
Here is the website for anyone here with an Irish passport: https://covidcertificateportal.gov.ie/en-US/

One question. I have a mate in UK wanting to come here for a few weeks.
I understand that there is no visa exemption, nor Visa on Arrival at the moment and he will need to apply for a visa in London ?
Can anybody confirm or correct me please ?
I am aware he will have to arrive in Jakarta.

Yes, you'd still definitely need to stay in Ireland for 10 days before getting the ferry to Holyhead or a flight to a UK airport. On the other hand, I don't think they have a Covid checking station at Holyhead since there are no travel restrictions at all between the UK and Ireland, so it's more between you and your conscience to wait for 10 days.

You could also presumably take the train up to Belfast and pop across that way. Or is inter-UK travel (NI to GB) also subject to vaccine checks?

It's not really an issue any more as the UK no longer has restrictions on entry for people who are vaccinated.
