NPHET want the international travel ban to remain in place until the end of June.
It's not what nphet say that will determine things but what Europe and the UK does. When European green pass is in place then people will travel. Nphet will be like bishop brennan trying to stop the film being shown in the craggy island cinema.NPHET want the international travel ban to remain in place until the end of June.
It is easy enough to have one or multiple valid reasons for travelling. Perhaps not for everyone but that’s life .But if the Gardai are still present in Dublin Airport, each and every non-essential traveller will have to pay the €500 (or is it €2,000) fine.
To quote Withnail:
“Free to those that can afford it. Very expensive to those that can't
But if the Gardai are still present in Dublin Airport, each and every non-essential traveller will have to pay the €500 (or is it €2,000) fine.
Fines are issues and I assume most will be enforced / paid. No government says no to free money.Earlier, gardaí said they have issued more than 15,300 fines to people in breach of Covid-19 regulations to date, worth a total of over €1.9m.
By the end of yesterday, 466 fines of €500 had been issued for organising a house party to date - for a total of €233,000.
(...)
There were 11,072 fines of €100 for non-essential travel, for a total €1,107,200
(...)
Gardaí issued a €100 fine on 262 occasions of non-essential travel by people not ordinarily resident in the state, for a total of €26,200.
People were fined €500 by gardaí for 636 non-essential journeys to airports and ports, worth €318,000.
This brings the total value of these fines to €1,982,220, while more than 700 other fines are currently being processed.
(...)
One third of fines have been paid, 3% are processing, 43% are within the 28-day payment period, while court orders have been issued for non-payment of 22% of fines.
Anyone know if those fines are being paid? Doesn't seem to be any link to data on it, they're just telling us how many fines have been "issued"
are you seriously speaking here about hours?I assume it’s like most fines. If you don’t pay you are summoned to court. If you still don’t pay you go to prison for a few hours.
Would not paying a fine count as criminal record?
