The Irish Tourist Assistance Service (ITAS) is a free nationwide service offering support and assistance to tourists who are victimised while visiting Ireland. This victimisation can take many forms from passport theft to exposure to substandard beer (virtually unavoidable) all the way up to physical violence. They are a very worthy organisation indeed and deserve our support.
A woman from ITAS was on RTE Radio this morning talking about the kinds of service they offer. She was asked by the presenter if there were any particular "hotspots" that tourists should be aware of. She answered that there was no particular high risk areas but the crimes, reported to them, tended to occur in the general vicinity of where the tourist was at the time.
Virtually unavoidable, indeed.
