The group was stopped at a checkpoint on Sean Moore Road, where the driver told Gardaí that they had travelled from Meath to pick up burgers in Ringsend in Dublin. All occupants of the car received a fine.When they examined further, they found two gym instructors who claimed to be working inside the gym due to not having Internet to conduct online sessions. Six fines were subsequently issued.

All these lockdowns haven't stopped the spread of the virus so it's a waste of time. The gardai will stand on the roads telling us Irish citizens we can't move around. But African criminal sympatizers can cause mayhem for 2 weeks and nothings done. Liberal Ireland at its best

Can we get the Important information on the story. I.e. the name of this burger place. Sincerely, everyone. And to everyone lashing ringsend with the same stick, No ones driving 50 miles and checkpoints everywhere for hash.

Unbelievable news journal . How dare someone is moving freely ?

No one travels 80km to get burgers. Lets keep this real. These fines won't be payed. No judge would force it either.

Fair play.. everyone should do this

'Burgers'

So what, this is a free country, not all citizens agree with Chinese dictatorship rules

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Expensive burgers 😂😂

They’ll fine someone getting a burger but they run away from BLM protesters causing havoc and they were out marching last night and nothing was done .. absolute joke

Who's to blame for this? theblamegame, Tim_Mc_Garry, neildelamere

Those who disseminate blatant falsehoods such as these must be held accountable and not be allowed to evade responsibility for whatever ensues. The riot and the storming of the Capitol happened as the result of Donald Trump and his cronies continually lying about election fraud.

Must be great burgers ..

I wouldn’t travel that far for a Ringsend burger but my guess is they were after BuJoBurgerJoint which is just up the road and definitely worth the trip👌🏻

Are they very good burgers then ?

Brilliant ... fair play to them , I do the same myself, drive all around the country, no traffic it’s bliss

Should of said they were going to blm protest

Sure, if you told that to ass he'd kick ya.

All they should of said was that they were on a lawful journey you are not legally required to give any personal info to gardas apart from your name.

stankyburger

So what if they did drive 50miles it's supposed to be a free country.

Love the determination. 💪

And what's wrong with that?

I think I’m going to unfollow you. This tattletales are sooo NO journalism at ALL. Is it that bad for you, that non relevant news are Twitter by you? And It was takeaway!!

Such an established news outlet. Can't even get their dates right. About what we'd expect from this rag.

yes sure...burgers

Blockburger?

Where they not cold by the time they got home?

Nothing said about the mass gatherings at the nkencho vigil the other night....about 100 thugs walking the streets of blanchardstown breaking every guideline in sight... where's their fines?

Not a chance they were buying burgers unless burgers is the new street name for hash 🤣

Motherf*ckers!

Must be a good chipper.

Burgers code name for weed ?

If it was for drugs it wouldn’t sound so unbelievable,,

yeah, burgers, right. good cover story lads 🤦‍♂️
