Minister for Public Expenditure Michael McGrath has said that there has not been an instruction for the public not to visit Dublin, but he advised people that if they did not need to travel to Dublin they should not do so.

The Government decision for the people of Dublin was that they should limit travel outside the city and county, so the logic was that people should not come into Dublin, he told RTÉ radio’s Today with Claire Byrne show.
