Urgent - Travel Advice Update
21/10/2001
Following the tragic events in the US on Tuesday September 11, Irish nationals will be aware of increased tension and disruption to airline schedules worldwide.
Intending travellers should be aware that enhanced security arrangements at airports may require additional time for pre-flight arrangements. Additionally they should consult their airline or travel agency before departure to establish if their flights are operating.
We advise against travel to Afghanistan.
We advise Irish citizens against travel to Pakistan unless strictly necessary and Irish citizens currently in Pakistan should consider whether their continued presence is necessary. We advise all Irish citizens in the North West Frontier Province and in Balochistan to leave those areas immediately.
Those travelling abroad should exercise extreme caution and vigilance and pay close attention to advice from security authorities.Top
