The Department of Foreign Affairs provides travel advice to Irish citizens. This reflects a considered assessment of the risks involved for our citizens travelling to individual countries. The current advice is at www.foreignaffairs.gov.ie/ services/traveladvice. As stated there, Irish citizens are advised against all non-essential travel to Kabul, and against all travel to other parts of Afghanistan.
