The group that represents Garda sergeants and inspectors say there needs to be an all-Ireland approach when policing the coronavirus.

It’s emerged there’s a loophole in the law, meaning people visiting the Republic and not staying the night, aren't affected by the restriction rules.

It means people from the North travelling here on day trips can’t be arrested.

President of the AGSI Cormac Moylan says this has to be addressed.

"There is two jurisdictions on this island, but there is one virus.

"This virus knows no boundaries, so I think there is a need for an all island approach.

"But I suppose that's beyond our representations of the sergeants and inspectors around the country that we represent, that's a for the government for them to sort out and for them to handle.

"We would love to see that we would have something in place that would give people a little bit more sure footedness."
