Gardaí in Co. Donegal have set up a special hotline to allow the public to inform them about illegal parties or gatherings in the county.

The move is in response to a huge jump in the number of Covid cases in the county in recent days. Both the Milford and Letterkenny electoral areas had the highest national incidence rates of the virus.
