Gardaí have posted on Twitter to confirm that Grafton Street was 'very quiet' on the first night of Level 5 restrictions on Thursday.
Yesterday, there were widespread reports of large crowds gathering on Grafton Street on Wednesday night ahead of the move to Level 5 of the National Framework for Living with Covid-19. Videos of the scenes circulated widely on social media and it appeared that people had gathered around a street performer which led to a large crowd forming.
Gardaí told the Irish Times that they "asked any large groups to move on, all complied and no arrests were made.” This morning, the Garda Twitter account has confirmed that the same street was "very quiet" on Thursday night as they patrolled the area with Senan and Dualtach from Garda Mounted Unit.
