Irish Mothers Walk Free After Judge Dismisses Quarantine Breach Charges
- Wednesday, 16 April 2025
Kirstie McGrath and Niamh Mulreany, two Irish mothers from Dublin, were accused of breaking Covid-19 quarantine laws after returning from a trip to Dubai for cosmetic surgery. They refused to stay at a designated hotel for the required 14-day quarantine despite pre-booking their rooms. Charged with breaching the Health (Amendment) Act, they faced a fine and imprisonment. After challenging the law's constitutionality in court, their criminal case was ultimately dismissed due to the judge ruling that it was not made clear to them that violating quarantine rules could result in criminal punishment.
