Garda had warned the public not to gather and travel around in the holiday weekend prior to Easter. Garda had been on the roads since morning enforcing the statement. Public parks, beaches etc had been under strict patroling and more checkposts have been setup at each borders.
A pleasant atmosphere and a relaxation in the restrictions may provoke people to go out. A special team is set up by the Garda to deal with people who travel through counties. Deputy Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ronan Glynn had requested people to celebrate Easter peacefully and carefully. People should be very careful in preventing the spread of virus.
