Irish citizens in Paris are being advised to exercise caution following last night's attacks that left more than 120 people dead.
One Irish citizen has been injured, and Minister Charlie Flanagan says "there is no indication of any other Irish casualties at this time".
In an updated travel notice, the Department of Foreign Affairs is urging Irish people in France to follow the instructions of authorities there.
It is also asking people to make contact with their families to let them know they are safe.
Delays are expected at French airports today as well as additional security measures, and anyone due to travel is advised to check with their operator before travelling to the airport.
Anyone with concerns is asked to contact the Department in Dublin on 01-408-2000.

Foreign Affairs Minister Charlie Flanagan said, "in response to last night’s terrible events in Paris, Department officials in Paris and in Dublin have been working through the night to monitor the situation and provide consular assistance.
"Our advice remains that Irish citizens in Paris should exercise caution, stay indoors and continue to follow the instructions of the local authorities. Any citizens intending to travel should check with their airline or tour operator for information – the airports are operational but citizens should expect additional security and travel disruptions," he added.
Minister Flanagan spoke to Kieran Cuddihy on Newstalk earlier this afternoon:
An emergency meeting took place at the French Embassy in Dublin this morning to discuss the response of the French community in Ireland to the terror attacks.
A black ribbon was tied to the French and European flags at the French Embassy in Merrion Square this morning.
Meanwhile, vigils will be taking place across the country today to remember those killed in the attacks.
