The Guard has made several arrests for public order crimes in Cork City tonight in the wake of increased patrols for Kovid-19 compliance.

Amid scenes of intimidation of public health officials and politicians calling for the country to quickly move out of Level 5 restrictions, a large number of people gathered in Cork City Center tonight, a garda described it as a “carnival atmosphere”.

The footage showed a large group of people arriving at the Grand Parade in Cork City Center tonight, with many people without masks.

Humou, a volunteer with the One Human Community Charity, which runs soup runs on the weekends, said the footage was taken around 8 p.m.

It shows people, many without masks, milling around the grand parade, some skateboarding. At one point a garda car appears.

Hamo said last weekend was a similar story in the city.

“If we continue to do this, we will never get out of this lockdown,” he said.

He said he appreciates that many people on the streets are young, but many are drunk and do not wear masks and do not keep a social distance.

He said of the street area in Cork tonight: “[there was] Thousands of people, easy. “

The footage confirmed by a Garda source familiar with the work in the city center this weekend that there was a “carnival atmosphere” with takeaway alcohol and that officials were embarrassed by the number of people. On the streets.

“last night [Friday] It’s probably been one of the busiest nights we’ve had since the beginning of the whole Kovid, ”Garda said, adding that Saturday evening’s scenes add up.

“It seems to have adopted a kind of carnival atmosphere.”

Garda said people are gathering outside pubs serving takeaway liquor, and the recent turn on of Christmas lights has made it even more appealing.

It can be seen that a large number of people have gathered in several city center places.

Garda said there had been no major incidents and that most people were very compliant when asked to go ahead, but the fact that the police were dealing with such a situation created great difficulties.

Speaking in response to events at Cork City Center on Saturday evening, Labor Party spokesman John Maher and Labor local area representative Peter J ഹrgen asked the Garda Commissioner to come to Cork this week to address Gordoi’s resource issues.

Cole Maher and Mr. Horgan said: “There have been significant reunions for two consecutive nights now, which seems to have been intended to wreak havoc in the name of disorder.

Gardai needs legs stretched out on the ground.

“I have reports of similar gatherings from the suburbs around the city, yet there is no physical presence due to the new guard settings.

“The commissioner must come to Cork this week to testify to the importance of the city’s forces, and the Minister of Justice must allocate funds to the additional Cork City Guard located at the suburban stations and on our streets.”
