With over 2,500 gardaí in high-vis jackets manning checkpoints on the major roads and patrolling the cities, parks, beauty spots and beaches of the country, it's highly likely you’ll meet one.
The new regulations signed into law by the Minister for Health mean that no-one can leave their home without a reasonable excuse. And while penalties for non compliance include fines of up to €2,500 or up to six months in prison, there is a lengthy process to be gone through first, which involves not just the gardaí but also the Director of Public Prosecutions and the courts before that stage can be reached.
Basically, you will be told that by not staying at home you are not only putting your own health at risk but also that of the ones you love, as well as the health and welfare of wider society.If you are not worried about the risk the garda will also try to point out the benefits of you staying at home, not just for you and your loved ones but also for the health services.
The gardaí are operating under Public Health legislation not Criminal Justice legislation as they usually do.
Nothing by the looks of it. Parts of Wexford swarming with holiday makers in their mobile homes. Why are these sites still open? They are not an essential service. Why can’t the government fine any mobile home site owner that is open. shutthemobilehomesites
Had expectations of compliance.... Sadly more Dubs than Wexicans in Gorey this afternoon!! How can this happen? Seriously
Nothing because we currently have no actively elected government so they can't sign anything into law!
Nothing, expect nothing.
So those who travel this weekend will probably avoid prosecution . If so, this is so unfair to us who’ve been obeying the lockdown.
Is the presumption that all the public are idiots that don’t know they have to stay at home? If Gardai arrest people this evening and charge them, then the message gets out. Then it’s much easier to police in future. Wishy washy attitude breeds non compliance.
We should vaccinate everyone with garda antibodies, no social distancing, no ppe and out and about every where, the 🇨🇮 police force will be insolation if not.
The Irish are becoming restless
Well we all know at this stage not to trust HSELive
