More than one in two Irish people living abroad are considering returning to Ireland for Christmas, according to a new survey.

This compares to the three in 10 who said they were thinking about coming home last year. The research, carried out by FRS recruitment, sought to ascertain Irish people’s attitudes towards coming home for Christmas this year and the extent to which the public health situation is impacting travel plans.
