The Garda Ombudsman has received dozens of complaints about the enforcement of Covid-19 restrictions.

Some relate to Gardaí not wearing masks or gloves.

GSOC says to date over 70 complaints have been received from the public about Garda enforcement of coronavirus restrictions.

About a third of them allege Gardaí weren't observing social-distancing rules, or weren't wearing gloves or masks.

Some people complained Gardaí were rude or abrupt at a checkpoint.

There were complaints about people being told to go home when they said there going beyond the 2 kilometre limit to go to the shop.

GSOC says it believes by sharing some details of the complaints immediately, it will alert Gardaí to concerns emerging from the public.

It also says it will allow Garda management to address issues as they arise.
