Nightclubs have more or less been shut down for 18 months.
For the first time in over a year and a half, a nightclub will open it's door tonight.
A pilot event is being held in Dublin's Button Factory venue.
There'll be 60% of the venue's capacity at the event.
Digital Covid Certs and Antigen tests will be required to attend it.

450 people will be in attendance tonight as a number of top DJs are set to perform.
Sunil Sharpe from the 'Give us the Night' campaign has welcomed the pilot event.
He says it could be more important than previous pilot events.
"How the report comes together afterwards will be a lot more comprehensive than other pilot events."
"There will be a big emphasis on personal responsibility going into the future," Sharpe says.
