traveling to Ireland with what's going on in the world
 

Our trip is paid for an are going on a Sceptre Pub tour from 2-17 to 2-21 and are concerned about traveling overseas with what is going on in the world. Any input. Thanks

Ireland is reckoned to be one of the safest places in the world for Americans to travel-probably safer than America itself.

I would not even think about cancelling. We feel no threat of terrorisem and are a neutral country. Ireland usually are in the U.N. Peacekeeping troops and no one seems to have a problem with us! I feel you are more at risk in the U.s. than we are in Ireland. Go and have a fun trip!

I agree with everyone, Ireland is one of the safest countries to visit.

Iris,<BR><BR>Allow me to echo the thoughts of previous posters, Ireland has long been and remains a very safe travel destination. Try to cast aside your concerns and go have a wonderful time.<BR><BR>Best of luck.

Our son just returned from Rwanda and on the way there was subjected to a bomb scare that diverted the plane to Malta. It was on the streets of Dublin that we received news of 9/11 in the U.S. We had no problem arriving in Newark some days later, but all were anxious.<BR><BR>Yes, traveling has concerns, but I might just fall down my back steps! Ireland is indeed safe. But did I read in Irish Times about increased patrols in Limerick due to gang violence? We stayed for a time at Univ. of Limerick and would say that is actually a safe city as well.<BR>Bill Longman in Springfield, MO

if I go anywhere this year it will be Ireland, it is very safe and you should have no problems at all. Have a great time

other than the possibility of a self induced hangover,you'll be fine.

Sheep is really your main concern.
