The amount of the fine on farmers to be increased from € 500 to € 2,000.
Méid na fineála ar fhámairí le hardú ó €500 go €2,000.
The amount of the fine imposed on people who go abroad or return to Ireland from abroad without good cause will be increased from € 500 to € 2,000, said Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
Ardófar méid na fíneála a ghearrfar ar dhaoine a théann thar lear nó a thagann ar ais go hÉirinn ón iasacht gan údar maith a bheith acu ó €500 go €2,000, a dúrt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin.
Speaking in the Dáil, the Taoiseach pointed out that 60% of passengers currently arriving in the country are Irish on holiday abroad.
Ag labhairt dó sa Dáil, thug an Taoiseach le fios gur Éireannaigh a bhí ar saoire thar lear is ea 60 faoin gcéad de phaisinéirí atá ag teacht isteach sa tír faoi láthair.
Micheál Martin stated that the Government believes that a fine of € 500 is not enough to deter people from engaging in this behavior.
Mhaígh Micheál Martin go gcreideann an Rialtas nach leor fíneáil €500 le daoine a chur den iompar seo.
He said the fine will be raised as soon as possible.
Dúirt sé go n- ardófar an fhíneáil chomh luath agus is féidir.
Legislation on compulsory quarantine for international farmers is due to be discussed by the Government next Tuesday.
Tá reachtaíocht maidir le coraintín éigeantach dfhámairí idirnáisiúnta le plé ag an Rialtas Dé Máirt seo chugainn.
Speaking on RTÉ, however, Labor Party leader Alan Kelly said quarantine in hotels must be implemented immediately.
Ag labhairt dó ar RTÉ, áfach, dúirt ceannaire Pháirtí an Lucht Oibre Alan Kelly nach foláir coraintín in óstáin a chur i bhfeidhm láithreach.
