Shannon’s Sinn Féin Councillor is urging parents to sit their children down and press the seriousness of the COVID-19 outbreak with them.

It comes as Gardaí in Shannon have issued an appeal, following multiple cases this week of children, some of whom are thought to be pre-teen, congregating in residential areas of the town overnight.

On Tuesday night, local Gardaí spent a significant amount of time chasing the children down and say they are not only breaking social distancing protocol but also taking up valuable resources.

Cllr Donna McGettigan is concerned that these children are unaware of how serious this outbreak is.
