"I had an 83 year old woman crying on the phone yesterday evening because she's looking out her window saying she's seeing lots of cars with Dublin registrations.

"People who spend their time at home all day looking out their windows know people's cars - these are cars that have not been there for the lockdown, and now they're there.

"Holiday homes are not where you're meant to be at this time - you're meant to be at home with your family staying safe, and not moving around the country."
