There’s been no change nationally in the number of people travelling more than 10 kilometres from their home according to latest figures.

And, it seems, people in Carlow and Kilkenny are a little more compliant than they were.

The statistics from the CSO show that Roscoccomon had the lowest proportion of people staying within the radius.

Countrywide 63.8% of people stayed within 10 kilometres of their home for the second week in a row, according to figures correct up to March 5th.

The largest change was seen in Carlow, with 1.8% more people staying within the radius of their house, with a 1.4% increase seen in Kilkenny.

However, at the other end of the spectrum, there was an increase of movement outside 10 kilometres of people’s homes in Sligo, up by 1.2% in the week.

Roscommon remains the county with the largest proportion of people going beyond 10k from their home while in Dublin 77.6% are staying within the radius of their houses.

The figures are compiled by the Central Statistics Office by using data from Three Ireland.
