Fifty-nine potential breaches of the coronavirus regulations by pubs have been recorded since the start of this month.

Most involved no evidence of food being served or consumed and no evidence of receipts to show that food had been sold, gardaí said.

Under current restrictions, pubs are not allowed to open unless they serve a substantial meal, worth at least €9, with alcohol.

Where potential breaches are identified and where a person does not come into compliance with the regulations, a file is submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for a direction as to how to proceed.

A Garda statement said the vast majority of licensed premises continue to comply with regulations and licensing laws.

Deputy Commissioner John Twomey said: “An Garda Síochána continue to carry out intensive visits of licensed premises which have opened for business in accordance with Covid-19 public health regulations.

“An Garda Síochána continues to see high level of compliance, [which] is welcome and [gardaí] will continue to enforce the public health guidelines, which have now been extended until August 10 2020.”
