Additional gardaí are to be deployed in Cork city this weekend as gardaí urge people not to gather in groups to contain the spread of the virus.

Nine people were arrested in Cork city last weekend with reports of a "carnival atmosphere" and large crowds gathering in the city despite level 5 restrictions.
