Ireland - Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions

This is an official announcement record

Firsthand records what US State Dept Travel Advisories announced and links to the original. The wording below is theirs, not ours.

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.
