An official Garda investigation is underway after a senior officer who was awaiting the results of a Covid-19 test attended an event with around 15 people this morning.
The Garda subsequently received a positive result and everyone who attended the event was advised to restrict their movements.
Senior Gardaí attended a press conference on the murder of Jo Jo Dullard, the 21-year-old who disappeared at Moone in Co Kildare, 25 years ago.
There were about 15 people present at the briefing, including Jo Jo’s sister, Kathleen Bergin.
One of the officers in attendance was awaiting the results of a Covid-19 test and shortly after the briefing ended he received a positive result.
A statement from An Garda Síochána said that all members are expected to fully comply with the HSE guidelines and these guidelines have been distributed to all An Garda Síochána staff members on numerous occasions.
An Garda Síochána is in contact with all the media that attended to inform them of this and the relevant public health councils.
In the statement, Gardaí said measures were implemented at the briefing in relation to social distancing.
The media were warned that due to weather conditions, the event would be held indoors, to attend only if essential and public health guidelines must be adhered to and attendees must wear a face cover.
Around 15 people are now restricting his movement and an internal investigation has now been launched.
