High compliance rates by Mayo pubs serving food - gardaí

A high number of inspections have been conducted by uniformed gardaí of public houses serving food in Mayo.

A spokesperson for An Garda Siochana confirmed that the level of compliance with social distancing and other guidelines is 'very high'.

“Inspections have been carried out at many locations, both urban and rural, and we have found proprietors are operating their premises very much in line with the guidelines, helped by good co-operation by customers,” the spokesperson added.

Further inspections are scheduled to take place over the weekend which is expected to be a very busy one for the local tourism and hospitality sectors due to the growing number of family groups on staycations.
