The Department of Foreign Affairs is telling Irish people to avoid any unnecessary travel to Tunisia.
This is the second-highest warning category in the department's five-point travel scale.
Minister for Foreign Affairs, Charlie Flanagan, said that Irish people should "review whether their presence in Tunisia is essential and, where it is not, we are advising them to leave by commercial means".
Earlier this month travel companies stopped direct flights from Dublin to Monastir. For this reason, Pat Dawson of the Irish Travel Agents Association believes there are relatively few Irish visitors left in Tunisia.
Britain is currently flying all its citizens home from the country, and says another terror attack is 'highly likely'.
Three Irish people were among the 38 shot dead in a terrorist attack on a beach in Sousse two weeks ago.
The mother of the shooter is defending her son.
"They got to my son. they used him and framed him for this crime. I can't imagine he could carry out such an operation. I want to know who fired and then framed him."
