There's been no change nationally in the number of people travelling more than 10 kilometres from their home according to latest figures.

Roscommon remains the county with the largest proportion of people going beyond 10k from their home while in Dublin 77.6 percent are staying within the radius of their houses.

Countrywide 63.8 percent of people stayed within 10 kilometres of their home for the second week in a row, according to figures correct up to March 5th.

The largest change was seen in Carlow, with 1.8 percent more people staying within the radius of their house, with a 1.4 percent increase seen in Kilkenny.

However, at the other end of the spectrum there was an increase of movement outside 10 kilometres of people's homes in Sligo - up by 1.2 percent in the week.

The figures are compiled by the Central Statistics Office by using data from Three Ireland.
