A further 22 potential breaches of public health regulations have been identified at licensed premises. Gardaí say the majority of the incidents relate to a lack of evidence that food was being served or consumed and no evidence of receipts to show that food had been sold.
As part of the Garda Operation Navigation, officers have been visiting pubs throughout the country. They said they continue to find widespread compliance with the regulations introduced in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
These include rules that alcohol can only be served alongside a "substantial meal" costing at least €9 with customers staying a maximum of one hour 45 minutes on the premises.
