Gardai have confirmed they will be investigating the organisers of any event which may have breached Covid rules in Carrick-on-Shannon this week.
A significant garda operation remains in place in the town tonight following a large Traveller funeral this afternoon.
Over two-hundred people- many not from the town- attended the funeral of a young man this afternoon, with dozens of people seen walking to St Mary's cemetery following the funeral mass in the town.
Gardai have confirmed to Shannonside FM that "a number of breaches of the regulations in respect of travel have been detected and "this operation is ongoing."
Gardai have confirmed that they are not investigating any breaches in respect of the church element of this funeral but they will carry out an investigation into the organisers of any event which is in breach of the public health regulations.
Earlier today Councillor Enda Stenson described the large crowd who attended the funeral as a 'slap in the face' to local residents who have been obeying Covid rules.
