It is a bit bizarre because the Taoiseach's Department gave out information on travel like what trains to book and so on, but not on a security risk over the flight back. As the Taoiseach mentioned, it was more about cancellation as opposed to anything personally happening to him. The story suggests that, out of an abundance of caution, the Taoiseach flew through Toronto because there was a risk of cancellation and, therefore, he would miss the match. That is what the story says.
