Gardaí from Ballincollig were on an #OperationFannacht checkpoint on the M8 at Glanmire and issued three fines for breaches of COVID Regulations during one tour of duty.

• Man travelled over 200 km’s to collect a puppy as a present for someone.
• Man that sold an item privately on social media and drove 70km to deliver it.
• Man travelled over 70 km for an essential journey. However, the passenger he had with him, from a different household, was just along for the spin. That is not essential and the passenger was fined.

Fines were issued to all three people for these incidents. Everyone must play their part during this challenging time. Before you get in you car, ask yourself, is this essential? By limiting our movements and contact with each other, we can help stop the spread of COVID-19.
