Gardaí say an investigation is ongoing and a number of fixed penalty notices will be issued.

This comes as Gardaí confirmed they will also be carrying out house checks to ensure people entering the country are self-quarantining this weekend.

Officers have been conducting checks on those who have been reported as not engaging with the Department of Health monitoring process.

Failure to comply with the regulations may result in a €2,500 fine, a six-month prison sentence, or both.
