Gardai find 24 Irish pubs in breach of guidelines during Operation Navigation

A total of 24 pubs in Ireland were found in breach of COVID-19 safety guidelines by the gardai as part of Operation Navigation.

Majority of these cases were due to no evidence of food being served or consumed and no evidence of receipts to show that food had been sold.

The incidents of non-compliance with health regulations and licencing laws were found between July 27 to August 3.

Some 105 pubs have been found to be in breach of safety guidelines since the start of Operation Navigation on July 3.

Files will now be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions in each of these cases.

Deputy Commissioner, Policing and Security, John Twomey said: "We are continuing to see high levels of compliance by licenced premises to the Public Health Regulations and this was especially evident across the bank holiday weekend.

“However, there are still a minority of licenced premises that are failing to adhere to the regulations.

“An Garda Síochána is asking that licensed premises and their customers continue to play their part in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and protect the community.”
