An investigation is under way into a large gathering at the Four Courts in Dublin city centre yesterday. The group gathered for the High Court challenge by former journalists Gemma O'Doherty and John Waters against the restrictions imposed by the Government in response to Covid-19.
Gardaí said they attended the scene and asked the group to disperse because of concerns over adherence to the government instructions on non-essential journeys and social distancing.
Garda headquarters said all persons were asked to disperse, a number of people initially failed to comply and the names of some of those present were taken "along with other evidence".
