'The virus does not respect the border' - Community ‘frustrated’ laws cannot be enforced on NI day trippers

Donegal is urging its neighbours to stay away as residents observe a country-wide movement restriction to limit spread of the coronavirus.

A community on the border with the North is “angry and frustrated” that social distancing laws cannot be enforced on day trippers from Northern Ireland, a public representative said.

Donegal’s stunning sandy beaches and Atlantic coastline are normally a magnet for visitors.
