Americans Warned on N. Ireland Trips
- Share via
WASHINGTON — The State Department issued a notice Tuesday cautioning travelers to Northern Ireland that threats and sabotage by the outlawed Irish Republican Army have interrupted rail service, especially on the Belfast-Dublin line.
The notice said there have been no deaths or injuries to date because the explosive devices which have been detonated were placed on tracks and not on the trains, and the authorities have received warnings.
In such instances, the tracks have been closed and alternate transportation has been provided.
