Reading now: 626
Garda Headquarters has informed senior officers all over the country that the restrictions on movement to stop the spread of the coronavirus do not apply to people on day trips from Northern Ireland and that powers of enforcement cannot be used on them.
Gardaí in the border region have also been ordered not to arrest anyone from Northern Ireland for suspected breaches of the Covid-19 regulations because they do not have the power to do so under the emergency legislation introduced by the Government.
RTÉ News has learned that there is a lacuna in the regulations signed by the Minister for Health which gardaí have been told means they do not apply to people who live outside the State.
