GARDAÍ have discovered a shebeen in Co Cavan and issued fines to people for breaches of public health restrictions.

Alcohol, beer kegs and taps, cash, bar stools and other bar equipment were found after officers searched private premises in Loch Gowna last Friday night.

A spokesman said officers were "investigating alleged breaches of liquor licencing legislation in support of current public health measures".

"Enquiries are ongoing and a file will now be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

"No arrests were made in this phase of the investigation."

Gardaí reported a number of people being present and issued fixed penalty notices for breaching the Covid lockdown's 5km travel limit.
