It is estimated that over 6 million Irish people have emigrated to the US since 1820, so it’s no surprise that we welcome nearly two million American visitors to the Emerald Isle each year.
Just like all State Departments of Tourism, citizens are warned of the potential dangers facing them on their trips abroad, and Ireland is no exception.
The American government is currently warning tourists arriving in Ireland of everything from ‘slower’ police, to increased cocaine and drug use, increased racism, cybercrime, and even car accidents.
