The Taoiseach has said people should stop going on holidays as the government plan to introduce mandatory quarantine at hotels within weeks. Just 1% of new Covid 19 cases are from International travel.  Henry McKean met travellers and elite athletes (Conor McGregor's team) coming off a flight from Dubai at Dublin Airport, he started by chatting to a passenger from Finglas about his holiday in Dubai.

It's important to note passengers did not break any laws by travelling since the new restrictions have not yet come into play. (It's just advisory not to travel, elite sport can continue). Some of the people talking to Henry were travelling for medical reasons, work, returning to their homes and just a few were on holiday.
