Gardai have revealed they intervened after a crowd of more than 700 people gathered for a organised ‘car meet’ in Cork last night.
A garda spokesman said they received reports of a large group gathering at Eastgate, Little Island, County Cork, last night in contravention of the public health regulations and guidelines that are currently in place.
Upon arrival at the scene, Gardaí observed in excess of 250 vehicles with an estimated 700 to 800 persons gathered.
According to a garda spokesman: There was very little evidence of social distancing, wearing of face coverings or general compliance with public health guidelines. Ages of participants included older males in their 30s/40s, some accompanied by young children, but mainly males and females in their 20s. Participants had travelled from outside the greater Cork area and various parts of Munster.
