Three out of four people on the island of Ireland are not contemplating a holiday abroad this year, a survey has suggested. Even fewer are considering an overseas break in what remains of the summer, the research indicated, with 94% expressing a preference for a staycation.
The survey results come ahead of the Government's expected publication tomorrow of a 'green' list of countries deemed safe to travel to and from.
Only countries that have a coronavirus infection rate the same or lower than Ireland will be included on the list, with the UK and the US among the places set to miss out.
One key measure will be the number of new cases per 100,000 of the population over the past two weeks. In Ireland, that figure is 4.7.
