Meanwhile, large crowds are expected to gather in Belfast City Centre on Saturday afternoon for a protest.

A parade, organised by Alliance Against Vaccine Passports, is planned for December 4 at 1.30pm.

The route is listed as Cornmarket, High Street, Bridge Street, North Street, Royal Avenue, Donegall Place and Donegall Square North with 500 expected participants.

It comes exactly two weeks since hundreds also met at the front of City Hall to protest against mandatory vaccination passports just as the Christmas Market reopened.

Regulations around Covid certification in NI were introduced on November 29.

Premises covered by the regulations are required to comply but there will be a grace period without any enforcement to December 13.
