Union says Gardaí not consulted about proposed legislation to crack down on house parties

Gatherings at home must not involve more than six people from no more than three different households.

The union for mid-ranking Gardaí says it is concerned officers will be given unworkable legislation in the government's push to crack down on house parties.

It is after the Cabinet decided a plan from the Health Minister to make it a crime to invite more than six people over for a party was too draconian.
