With several recent incidents reported in Irish media, the U.S. Embassy in Dublin reminded U.S. citizens on July 25, 2023, to exercise good personal security practices while traveling abroad.

For example, an older Buffalo, New York musician was abused last week during an unprovoked assault near Store Street Garda station.

The U.S. Embassy Dublin encourages all citizens to be aware of their surroundings, especially when traveling in unfamiliar places, crowded locations, empty streets, or at night in July 2023.

U.S. Embassy in Ireland can be contacted at +353 1 668-8777 or [email protected].

Furthermore, the U.S. Department of State reissued a Level 1: Exercise Normal Precautions travel advisory of Ireland on July 26, 2023.

The State Department says if you decide to travel to Ireland, visitors should participate in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program to receive Alerts during an emergency.
