Absolutely disgraceful: Loophole in legislation allows Northern Ireland residents to go ANYWHERE they want in the Republic without repercussion




In what can only be described as idiotic and utterly disgraceful, it’s been revealed that there’s a sort of ‘loophole’ in the new garda legislation that means people travelling to the Republic of Ireland from the North or anywhere outside of the State can NOT be prosecuted or even told to go home.

The Minister for Health Simon Harris signed in the new legislation that gave gardai new powers to arrest people who wouldn’t adhere to lockdown measures.

It’s utterly ridiculous though, as it’s emerged that people from the north who live along the border can drive into the South and literally go wherever they want without any repercussions.
