Gardaí have shared a fake employer letter which claimed to provide a 'reasonable excuse' for someone to undertake international travel to Tenerife.
The letter claimed to certify that the person in question is an 'Electronic Security Systems Provider which is an essential service in Europe and covered by the Irish Government advice of January 24th.'
It adds that it had been issued by the 'Human Resources Department of (company)' and that 'the individual will provide an essential service at (hotel) in Tenerife, Spain.'
Gardaí shared the image on social media along with the caption: 'Gardaí at Dublin Airport checking 'reasonable excuse' for international travel were provided this letter, found to be false. €500 fine issued. Covid-19 doesn’t switch-off so that people can attend parties, or go on holidays, or gather in large groups.'
