Fines to be imposed for non essential travel

People who breach Covid-19 travel restrictions for non-essential purposes will be fined 100 euro from today.

It'll be issued by Gardaí to anyone who refuses a request to turn back. The fixed charge penalty notice will arrive in the post and a person will have 28 days to pay it. Gardaí say it'll also no longer consult with the Director of Public Prosecutions before issuing these fines.
