Almost half of people in Ireland travelled more than 10km from home in week before Christmas

During the second wave of the pandemic, the indicator peaked during the week ending November 4th, when 62.9 per cent of the population were estimated to have stayed local each day.

In January and February, prior to the onset of the pandemic, on average 56.5 per cent of the population were estimated to have stayed local each day. Counties with high urbanisation levels tend to have greater numbers of people staying within 10km of home, reflecting the density of the population and the proximity to essential services such as schools and shops, the CSO said.

Dublin showed the highest percentage of persons staying local of any county for the week ending December 31st, at 66 per cent., and Sligo with less than half the county population staying within 10km of their usual place of overnight residence.
