A spokeswoman said: “Paul Reid lives in Carrick on Shannon. Travel to Dublin for essential meetings only. He has a house in Dublin. “
Under current restrictions imposed to curb the skyrocketing rate of Covid-19 in Dublin, people in Dublin are being asked not to travel outside the county except for essential reasons such as work and education.
The same barrier applies to people traveling to the county since the pandemic began.

The remaining 28 cases are in Clare, Kildare, Kilkenny, Laois, Leitrim, Limerick, Longford, Mayo, Monaghan, Offaly, Roscommon, and Westmeath.
