CONCLUSIONS: The outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease in West Africa resulted in significant strengthening of Ireland's Port Health preparedness, while also highlighting the extent to which preparedness requires ongoing and sustained commitment from all stakeholders, both nationally and internationally, in ensuring that countries are ready when the next threat presents at their borders. Although the IHR are aimed at several areas of public health security they can be broadly summarized into two main areas; Urgent actions to be taken with respect to acutely arising risks to public health and Strengthening of national systems and infrastructure (core capacities) While Ireland has no direct flights from the affected countries in West Africa, a significant number of travelers who leave that area arrive in Ireland as their final destination.	./cache/cord-318565-52ynt4d3.txt	./txt/cord-318565-52ynt4d3.txt
