Where the governments disagree on Ireland

The governments do not agree on Ireland. Germany stands alone at level 2 (exercise increased caution), while the other 8 governments sit lower, all at level 1. A single outlier usually means one of two things: that government knows something specific about its own citizens' exposure, or its assessment has not caught up with the others.

Currency varies between sources. New Zealand's is the oldest assessment of Ireland on file, last revised in November 2024, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.

Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.

Derived from 9 government assessments for Ireland, most recently reviewed in October 2026.
