    Depends really if you want to go for day trips or a few days. A DART to Malahide & Bray are usually good days out as is a train ride to Skerries or all the way does to Rosslare if you have an overnight. Galway should have a bit going on being the capital of culture this year.

    Whatever you decide to do I would recommend you pre-book anything you want to do given the restrictions & limited numbers allowed.

    Public transport is still only for necessary journeys.

    So I'd suggest anywhere within walking distance of home.

    I would head up North to Belfast, lots of local things to do and decent food options. Plenty of day trips available that tick the landscape box.

    It's really not. The government are encouraging people to holiday at home. Now they're trying to get people to go back into Dublin city centre. They couldn't do that if public transport was still only for essential journeys.

    Suggesting you go anywhere within walking distance is ridiculous advice. There is no problem with using public transport.

    True! They got rid of the 2km limit a few months ago..

    I said necessary not essential.

    This is in line with current advice from the National Transport Authority https://www.nationaltransport.ie/news/covid-19-service-information-update/
    We would like to remind passengers that public transport services continue to operate for necessary journeys at this time. We strongly encourage that anyone who can get to their destination by walking or cycling to please do so.


    Holidaying at home means just that. Not heading off around the island

    Italy or Greece, guaranteed sun and flights are cheap enough.

    Was in Carlingford on Monday and decent crowds about but not too bad. Stopped for a bite to eat and a pint in PJ O'Hare's and they were VERY very professional. More stringent in their approach to covid than anywhere i've been in dublin city.

    Formal welcome at the door, announcing what you could and couldn't do etc at your table.

    Food was unreal and reasonable. Paid €42 for massive haddock & chips, double burger & chips and 2 pints of G.

    The very same feed in Dublin city in a well established pub cost me €63 a few weeks ago. PJ's would be known for being a tourist spot too.

    Go up to northern Ireland, Monday-wednesday, 50% of food in participating establishments, a government covid19 scheme.
