Wexford resident first person to appear before the court under new COVID-19 regulations

County Wexford has seen the first-ever court appearance of someone charged under the new COVID-19 regulations.

Denis Constantin, originally from Romania, is now living in Enniscorthy.

The 24-year-old was allegedly stopped by Gardaí twice over the Easter Weekend, more than two kilometres from his home on the Mile House Road - first in Bunclody and again near New Ross.

24-year-old Constantin appeared before Gorey District Court charged with three other offences, including driving without a licence or insurance while disqualified.
