People must take the new measurements and restrictions seriously and the gardai and making sure that only essential workers are going to be on the roads going to work.

The emergency response team announced that anyone who is deemed to be an essential worker must carry a letter from their employer and verified identification with them at all times when they have to go out.

Gardai will have the authority to stop people either on foot or in their car and ask them where they’re going, why they’re going there, for how long they’ll be there and who they work for.

Failure to provide information will result in people being sent home or possibly detained if they refuse to go home.
