Authorities are happy with the level of compliance.
Gardaí in Laois inspected all pubs in the county over the weekend.
Operation Navigation was launched to ensure compliance from publicans and customers with the new covid guidelines.
Superintendent in Portlaoise Anthony Petit says they were satisfied with the high level of compliance they encountered.
However, there's growing concern that the full re-opening of pubs on July 20th will be delayed if large gatherings at pubs in Dublin are repeated elsewhere.
Superintendent Petit says they do have the power to reprimand consumers and pub-owners who are repeatedly breaching the rules:
One pub in Offaly was inspected six times during the weekend.
Owner of The Brewery Tap, Paul Bell, says the process lasts about five minutes and consists of a check on food being served and of the lists being retained for contact tracing purposes:
