No cause for concern on border over Covid-19 - Garda Commissioner
Reading now: 859
There has been no behaviour on the border that would cause concern in relation to widespread breaches of the emergency Covid-19 legislation, according to the Garda Commissioner.
Drew Harris acknowledged that a loophole in the regulations means enforcement is not an option if day visitors from Northern Ireland or outside the State chose not to comply.
He said the vast majority of people remain in compliance. Public representatives in border counties have, however, called for the regulations to be amended to ensure they apply to everyone, including those who live outside the State.
But the Department of Health would only say last night the restrictions are due to expire next Tuesday, 5 May, and "are being kept under review".
