GRA welcomes the move but says priority testing is also required for gardaí

Garda members will be allowed to wear face masks during any of their interactions with members of the public, including at checkpoints and on foot patrols, for the duration of the Covid-19 crisis.

That means the masks will be issued to Garda members for the first time since the Covid-19 crisis began, and they will use them when they see fit, in order to protect their own health and public health. “The absence of facemasks at checkpoints has been a cause of concern to the public. Now there is a protocol that says if a garda cannot stay two metres away from a vehicle, for instance on a narrow road, they should put on a facemask,” he said.

will they rip them off like the president of germany? and hand them to assistant when cameras are off? or media who were caught the same? funny trump says open america and they all mask up? not one mask to be seen in the height of the virus .

Bit late no? 2 months after the outbreak and 24,000 confirmed cases later . This country is so behind , laughable . Emigrating once this is over and not looking back . Poor government , poor management!

Jesus, slow learners indeed. We need to protect all workers.
