A further 11 licensed premises found to be in breach of COVID19 public health guidelines

A further 11 licensed premises have been found to be in breach of Covid-19 public health guidelines.

Gardai have checked thousands of pubs and restaurants as part of Operation Navigation, and say the vast majority are in compliance with public health guidelines.
 
The latest incidents follow 26 premises found to be potentially breaching the regulations during the first week of the operation, and brings the total to 37.

Gardaí say they found customers drinking alcohol, but no evidence of food also being consumed, and no evidence of receipts to show that food had been bought. 

Files will be prepared for the DPP.
