A spokesperson for the Department of Health said: "Since the onset of this pandemic, the Government has introduced a range of public health measures to help keep people safe and to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
"The vast majority of Irish people have followed the guidance and advice. Unfortunately, there is a small cohort of people who are ignoring the advice, ignoring the guidance, and putting themselves and others at risk.
"Their activities can be dangerous from a COVID-19 perspective, and can put their communities at risk.
"The only enforcement power available previously when people violated regulations under the 1947 Health Act was a ‘Penal Provision’. Under a penal provision, the maximum penalty was a fine of up to €2,500 and/or 6 months in prison, on conviction in court by a judge.
"The Government decided that a more flexible and proportionate system of sanctions was required for offences and breaches of the regulations.
"It is in that context that Cabinet agreed on October 20th, 2020 to revise, refine and update the system of sanctions by providing for fixed penalty notices and a system of tiered penalties as well as giving the Gardaí additional powers to deal with events in private dwellings."
