The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade continues to advise against any non-essential travel overseas until further notice.

This advice, which is available on our website and our TravelWise App, is taken in full consideration of public health requirements and in ongoing consulation with the Department of Health and the HSE. Working with our Embassies and Consulates overseas, we will continue to monitor developments closely and to consult with all relevant domestic and international partners regarding travel advice.
