Two Dublin women who failed to block a prosecution for refusing to enter into mandatory hotel quarantine four years ago after returning from Dubai during the covid pandemic will face trial in April.

Mother-of-two Kirstie McGrath, aged 33, with an address at St Anthony's Road, Dublin 8 and Niamh Mulreany, aged 28, a mum of one from Scarlett Row, Essex Street West, Dublin 2, were both arrested on the afternoon of April 2, 2021, at Terminal 2 in Dublin Airport.
