Is the BIVS still in effect during COVID times?

Is the BIVS still in effect during COVID times? - Abstract background with white glassy drops

In the course of the Covid pandemic the Irish Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme has been suspended for an effectively indefinite amount of time. While pages on the SSVWP show a warning that it is on hold, BIVS explanations only state that

The British Irish Visa Scheme will build on Ireland’s Short-stay Visa Waiver Programme

but provide no further info on whether it is also suspended due to suspension of the SSVWP.

While I would assume that to be the case, is there any more definitive/legally binding source that can confirm or refute this assumption?
