Gardai are reminding the public that those outside of their 5km could face a €100 penalty.

Gardaí are issuing a reminder that anyone caught travelling outside their 5 kilometres for non-essential reasons will be fined.

It comes after a Westmeath man was caught over 200 kilometres away in West Cork over the weekend.

Gardaí now have the power to issue 100 euro on the spot fines, to ensure compliance with public health guidelines.

Eoin English, Senior Reporter with the Irish Examiner, says gardaí have really ramped up their presence on the roads in the last week:
