Gardaí said the Covid reporting line for Co Donegal is a temporary measure that may be discontinued shortly.
A Garda hotline in Co Donegal set up to allow people report suspected breaches of Covid regulations may be shut following a review by senior officers.
The controversial telephone line based at Letterkenny Garda station was set up almost two weeks ago when virus rates spiked in the county.
In the first week of operation 67 calls were received. When investigated 41 of these were not found to relate to a breach. Enquiries are ongoing into a further 21 calls while two hoax calls were also received.
