Fines, jail for non-compliance with face coverings law

Mr Martin said the Government will encourage people to wear face coverings in crowded indoor gatherings and where social distancing is not possible.

People with trouble breathing, people who cannot remove a face covering without help and people with special needs and who may feel upset or uncomfortable wearing a face covering will also not have to wear them on public transport. — RTÉ News July 10, 2020 Mr Martin said, in his experience, once you tell people that it is against the law then people will conform. People will not be allowed to stay on buses or trains without a mask.

"We are working on this and this is not something we want to do. We are asking people to comply," she said. However, the NBRU said it does welcome the introduction of legislation to make face coverings mandatory for passengers.
