As much of Europe bans travel to and from the UK - efforts are underway here to bring stranded Irish residents home.

Consular flights have been arranged for this evening and ferry access is also being arranged, but only for International travellers who are transiting and citizens normally resident here who are currently caught out on short trips to Britain.
Due to public health concerns - the travel arrangements are not available to people living in Britain who were planning trips to Ireland for Christmas.
