Gardaí are appealing to car enthusiasts in Cork and Galway to avoid large 'meet-ups' as a number of such events in recent events have sparked public health concerns.

On Sunday, May 16 gardaí were alerted over a possible breach of public health guidelines when a large number of cars met up at Kennedy Quay in the city. Gardaí at Anglesea Street said they were able to break up the rally "without incident."
