Galway voted as most popular destination for Irish people to travel to after lockdown

Kerry, Wexford, Cork, Donegal and Sligo also proved popular with people intent on getting out of the house when the restrictions are lifted.

As lockdown meant many people's summer plans went by the wayside, a new survey has identified the destination where Irish people want to travel to the most as a 'staycation' is on the cards after the Covid crisis ends.

Irish sustainable backpack company SunDrift commissioned a survey of 500 people - with 90% saying they intended to travel more after the lockdown ends. With staying in Ireland preferred to a trip abroad by the respondents, Galway was the most popular choice for a weekend away when the country opens up again.
