Is it actually closed? I've been back and forward between the U.S. and Europe this summer, and it looks like I will have to again in December (I have dual citizenship). The airplane wasn't full, but definitely not empty either (and it still flies every day). I know that the U.S. actually blocked none-Americans from Europe from coming in and the airlines won't allow them on the airplane, but I haven't heard how Europeans block Americans.
At the moment Irish people are only allowed to travel to 4 countries
- Cyprus
- Finland
- Latvia
- Liechtenstein
If you travel to Ireland from USA you have to do a 14 day quarantine. Ireland is currently in Level 3 restrictions, which means that travel outside our county is not advised and there are Police checkpoints on the roads.
There are still flights to America from Ireland but only to New York, Chicago and Boston.
During the summer many Americans still came to Ireland and didn't do the 14 day quarantine. Many hotels and restaurants in the tourist areas refused American tourists. It is the law that face coverings are worn in shops and on public transport. When some American tourists in the summer were asked to wear a face covering they refused as "they are American and we have rights"

Some restaurants and hotels have started turning away US visitors in case they infect staff and other customers with coronavirus, a concern fuelled by surging infection rates in some US states and Ireland’s lax quarantine enforcement.
“It’s never a good business model to turn away visitors but this isn’t about business,” said Noel Keane, a chef who recently barred two groups of Americans from Croí restaurant in Tralee, County Kerry. “From a moral point of view, it’s the right thing to do.”
The would-be diners admitted they had not self-isolated for 14 days after entering Ireland, compelling a rebuff, said Keane. “I said no. There was no malice. It’s certainly not an anti-American sentiment.”
Other businesses have followed suit, some openly, others discreetly.
JP McMahon, a chef and owner of Cava Bodega in Galway, started questioning tourists and turning away those that admitted violating quarantine after his staff felt “uncomfortable” serving a group from Texas.
The Kings Head pub in Galway and Gregan’s Castle Hotel in County Clare tweeted that they, too, had turned away Americans just off the plane.
The Charleville Lodge in Dublin said that it was banning American tourists – even those seeking to quarantine in the hotel: “The government has advised that overseas guests must ‘stay in your hotel or guesthouse’, which means the government is happy to put my staff at risk by being in contact with these guests. This is not self-isolation.”
Some Americans who phone hotels are told there is no availability, said Guy Serbin, who runs a Facebook group for US expatriates in Ireland. “Then, when their Irish spouse calls, there are rooms.”
Borders shut all over the shop with big spike in cases everywhere . Here in the central Scotland we had new restrictions announced today, advising against travel outside our regional areas, never mind travelling out the country. Tomorrow we would have been travelling to New York for a few days before DCL Bermuda cruise on Monday, so very bittersweet. 
) but since then most countries in Europe require quarantine either on entry and if not there, then certainly on return. Also different quarantine rules within the UK depending on which of the 4 nations you live in. We are not looking to travel now until summer 2021....
