The annual tradition is set to be banned.
Trick or Treating looks set to be banned this year to stop the spread of Covid-19.
The Government is saying the annual tradition wouldn't be a good idea as the aim of the current restrictions is to reduce contacts.
The news would comes as a huge blow for many young people, given Halloween is a major highlight of the calendar.
However fear over the increasing the number of contacts people have may mean it wont be allowed to go ahead.
Fine Gael TD Colm Burke has said there may be ways around going to people's doors.
''In relation to picking up treats at doorsteps, I don't think there's a problem with that provided there isn't contact with people'', he said.
''The whole idea of guidelines is to try and reduce the level of direct contact between individuals and that's what the advice is''.
''It's going to be different this year''.
Meanwhile Minister Simon Harris says the only fright we should be giving each other is from Halloween games - and not the fright of people getting sick.
"I've gotten lots of contact from lots of children asking about Halloween, and in the past when we've been blunt and honest with our kids they've responded with such resilience,” he said.
"It's been so tough for them, they've had communions cancelled, confirmations cancelled, schools closed, exams cancelled, graduations moving online and all sorts of different things."
"In relation to Halloween, let me say this, it's going to be different this year. It's not a good idea to start trapesing around to everybody's house but that doesn't mean you can't have a good time.
"It doesn't mean you can't dress up in a scary costume, it doesn't mean your mum or dad can't get treats into the house or watch a spooky movie or play some games."
Last week the Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan said NPHET would be giving particular emphasis on making Halloween safe and issuing guidance if needed.
