Anyone not ordinarily resident in the Republic engaging in travel in this jurisdiction without a reasonable excuse may be liable to receive a fine of €100. Gardaí will continue to use the 4Es – engage, explain, encourage and, as a last resort, enforce.

If enforcement is required, Gardaí will issue a fine for €100 to every adult present who is in breach of this regulation. For example, if the driver of a car has two adult passengers then each of the three adults in the car will receive a €100 fine.
