I doubt anyone will be surprised. The usual blame game has probably started, but if people do not comply with the guidelines what can the Government do?
And nothing to stop airlines flying London to Belfast, and bussing people to Dublin - yes it's happening.
What airline is flying people from London and Belfast and bussing people to Dublin??? Aer Lingus refused to use Belfast as a base from day 1 of this pandemic to get around travel restrictions in the South even though they could have sent extra aircraft there. If people are using Belfast and then travelling South, that is down to them. Blaming Airlines is unfair unless you have an example of an Airline that is doing this?
BA put on extra flights too, widely reported both here and thereWhat airline is flying people from London and Belfast and bussing people to Dublin???

Anecdotal interview in Irish Times:
Travel ban? Passengers come to Ireland on multiple flights today
People arriving in Belfast and Derry with, in one case, over 100 continuing on to Dublinwww.irishtimes.com

Sunday night I think it was over over 400 people accommodated by BA putting on extra flights from Heathrow. Im not making this up btwWhat extra flights have been put on since the restrictions were announced??
Of course people are using Belfast to get to the South but that is not the same thing as airlines organising extra flights and bussing people to Dublin to get around the restrictions.
