Safety Advice
The FAI wishes a safe and immensely enjoyable trip for all our supporters travelling to support the team in France. To help keep supporters informed with useful travel advice, we would like to highlight a new service offered by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
Minister Charlie Flanagan has launched TravelWise, a new smartphone application offering travel advice and connecting Irish citizens with the Department in the case of an emergency.
The application offers users with information on 200 countries, useful travel tips, a handy pre-travel check-list and a facility to register your details with the Embassy. It is also possible to set up alerts for selected countries and receive security updates.
You can access the app in the app store here or in the Google play store here.
