Charges against the two bar staff in Cork are being brought under a section of the Health Act 1947 as amended by the Health (Preservation and Protection and other Emergency Measures in the Public Interest) Act 2020.
Two bartenders at a Cork city pub are to contest charges that they breached Covid-19 restriction regulations while working in the bar last summer.
Daniel Kiely (39) and Laura Leahy (27) are both charged with the Covid-19 regulation breaches, arising from alleged incidents at the Harp Bar on Pouladuff Road, Cork, in July 2020.
A man is due before a sitting of Cork District Court this morning after his arrest in an operation carried out by the Cork Divisional Drugs Unit in Rochestown during the week.
The man in his 40s was arrested by Gardaí in Cork following the seizure of €80,000 worth of suspected cannabis on the morning of February 10.
At approximately 10.35am that morning, a car was stopped and searched under Misuse of Drugs legislation at Rochestown, Cork.
The search was carried out by members of the Cork Divisional Drugs Unit who were targeting the activities of an organised criminal group that is suspected of being involved in the sale and supply of drugs and related crime in Cork City.
