The head of the HSE has appealed for people to 'cop on and get their act together' in the fight against Covid 19.
Paul Reid tweeted this afternoon to say that some bars and people have been wreckless since social distancing began.
Unfortunately this is no longer a weekend of National celebration but one of a National Health Crisis. The public have been great to date. Some bars and people have been reckless though. To that minority, cop on, get your act together and comply with the advice @HSELive

Indoor gatherings of over 100 people have been banned by the government, including pubs and clubs.
Health officials and politicians have slammed a video that's emerged of people crowded into a busy pub in Temple Bar last night.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said the government may look for enforcement powers to make sure the ban on gatherings is implemented.
No indoor mass gatherings of more than 100 people applies to pubs & clubs. Have asked NPHET for further expert guidance on this. May seek enforcement powers from Dail/Seanad.
