Gardaí are urging people to stay within their 5km limit when exercising with motorists being advised that cars are being towed and further fines are being issued to drivers visiting the Wicklow Mountains from outside the area.
Already warning that Gardaí will be actively patrolling the Wicklow uplands to "support compliance with the restrictions", it comes after
17 other fixed charge notices were issued to motorists on Friday last.
Posting a lengthy message to Facebook, Garda Síochána Wicklow urged people to "please stay out of the uplands" writing that "notwithstanding the pandemic, the weather conditions in these locations have resulted in dangerous driving conditions".
