Last updated · latest change by either source
Level 1 — Exercise normal precautions
SafeRoutes uses the highest level reported by the sources below. Countries at Level 3–4 are avoided as transit points by the route finder.
US State Department
Exercise normal precaution in Ireland. Ireland is generally a safe destination for travelers. Travelers should remain vigilant as petty crime is common, especially in popular tourist locations. Stay aware of your surroundings. Most crimes against foreigners are crimes of opportunity, like purse snatching and pickpocketing. Large-scale demonstrations related to the local political situation may occur with little notice. Demonstrations may disrupt transportation and other essential services.
