Protests denouncing the Nov. 23 stabbing incident are possible in Dublin through at least early December. Security remains high following the violent demonstrations on late Nov. 23. In response, the UK, US, and Canada have issued protest warnings. As of Nov. 29, The UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and the US Diplomatic Mission have warned that unrest and associated disruptions are possible, cautioning its citizens to exercise extreme caution. Canadian officials have advised its citizens to take standard security precautions in Dublin and avoid any protest due to the risk of violence.
Authorities will likely monitor and disperse any spontaneous gatherings in the city. These or other governments may reiterate or adjust security advisories in the coming days or weeks in response to developments in the country.
Register and maintain contact with your diplomatic mission. Monitor all diplomatic warning channels before visiting the country. Avoid all protests as a standard precaution. Leave the area immediately if clashes occur. Heed instructions from local authorities.
