The UK and Irish government have been discussing future arrangements for cooperation within the Common Travel Area (CTA). Great progress has been made in these talks and both sides are confident that a final agreement is near.
Irish Citizens won’t have to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme, as Ireland will have a different, ‘special’ status from the rest of EU countries in UK law, due to the CTA arrangements. More details here:

To find out more about the CTA, see the UK and Irish Government’s joint statement:

The UK Government has introduced a new, “Australian style”, “skills-based” immigration system which will come into force after the end of the transition period.
Under the new rules, People whose earnings fall below £25,000 per year, will not be allowed entry to the UK, unless there a workforce shortage in a particular sector (i.e., nurses, whose average wages amount to roughly £20,500pa).
Others earning below the £25k mark will be defined as ‘low-skilled’. For more details:

It’s worth noting that Welsh Government strongly opposes the “low-skilled” definition. For more information about the Welsh Government’s take on post-Brexit immigration, see the following:
