Restrictions on travel do not apply to victims of domestic abuse, the gardaí were keen to stress, adding that help can be found at 999, 112 or by approaching a garda on patrol.
Speaking today, Deputy Commissioner John Twomey, Policing and Security said, Keeping people safe during this pandemic has been An Garda Síochána s number one priority. The measures announced today will further support that work.
“The additional checkpoints combined with high visibility patrolling in key locations will help Government and societal efforts to reduce the spread of Covid-19. We all have a role to play in tackling the pandemic. To date, there has been widespread compliance with public health advice and regulations. Now, more than ever, we all need to adhere to the public health advice. Stay home. Please only make essential journeys,” Garda Twomey said.
