Garda Patrols

[Limerickguy1]

Hi just wondering since the lock down Friday. Has anyone ventured over 2Km from their home and been actually stopped by a Garda Patrol.

I haven't tried to leave my town so I don't know, I'm sure they will get much stricter in the coming days though.

The 2km is only on exercise type activities, you can travel further for shopping, essential work, MOT, or doctor or pharmacy visits and so on

Drove into town to pick up a few things and saw no gardai at all, very few people about although I did notice a good few NI reg cars, why haven’t we closed the border to Sunday drivers?, the north is on lockdown the same as us

Been stopped by guards, when I went food shopping. I know new rule allows outside 2km for food shopping but was within 2km of home anyway.
Was on way back and explained that to the Guard. He asked to see Grocery receipt, he then checked time on receipt, again I know I didn't have to give him receipt but was happy to do so. Heard a lot of people who said they have been stopped and asked questions about why they were out, where they were going, etc. All happy to supply info, any other time they would have told guards to eff off.

Here in Spain, if you say you were shopping police will ask for receipt as proof you are telling the truth. If you have no backup on what you say they will fine you.

I'm sure the same will happen here very soon.

When I go out shopping, I don't think they would ever ask me for a receipt

U have the receipt once the shopping have been done but if u are on the way to the supermarket? No receipts , maybe only a GPS with the destination Tesco lol (just in case).
