People are being warned against unnecessary travel abroad with 11% of Covid-19 cases in Ireland in the last two weeks being travel related.
The Chair of the Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group said non-essential travel outside of Ireland is too big a risk to take.
Restrictions on domestic travel have been lifted as part of Phase 3 of the easing of restrictions, but Professor Philip Nolan said Ireland does not need the risk or burden of importing cases unnecessarily.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, he said people who need to travel for work or to re-unify a family,should be prioritised and consideration must be given to protocols to enable them to travel.
