There was a massive collapse in international travel in the month of June, the latest Central Statistics Office (CSO) figures reveal. 

The number of people arriving in Ireland and the number of people leaving fell sharply last month, both declining by more than 95%. This is in line with global travel trends caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
