Gardaí say on the spot fines for people breaking public health rules will make policing 'easier' 

The GRA feels the threat of a fine of up to 100 euro could make it easier to police the wearing of face masks.

Gardai will take no great pleasure in handing out fines to people not wearing masks.

That's according to the Garda Representative Association after it emerged the Health Minister wants to bring in on the spot fines for people breaching public health rules.
