The revelation comes after Gardai issued a statement about a similar incident in Waterford, which saw a teenager arrested for coughing on members of the public.
Gardai told Lovin.ie that "A male in his late teens was arrested for a Public Order Offence in Dungarvan on Monday 23rd March 2020 and the matter is under investigation.
"An Garda Síochána is aware of ongoing social media reports in relation to a person engaged in ‘coughing’ at persons.
"Any member of the public should report such activity to An Garda Síochána and not on social media."
