McGrath and Mulreany were charged with violating the country’s current Health Act, according to the outlet.
In late March, Irish health authorities announced there would be mandatory hotel quarantines for travelers who arrived from countries that were determined to be a "significant risk." The United Arab Emirates is included in this list of 84 countries.
"Any passenger who has been in any of these Category 2 countries in the previous 14 days, even if only transiting through one of these countries and even if remaining airside, is legally required to quarantine at a designated facility (mandatory hotel quarantine)," travel guidelines published on the Department of Foreign Affairs reads. "This applies even if the passenger receives a negative RT-PCR test result after arriving in the State. There are very limited exemptions to this requirement."
