Two Dublin women who were arrested by Gardai after they refused to quarantine at a hotel after they returned to Ireland following a holiday in Dubai in 2021 have argued before the High Court that they should not be prosecuted for alleged breaches of measures introduced during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The actions have been brought by Niamh Mulreany (26) and Kirstie McGrath (31) who were arrested at Dublin Airport on Good Friday April 2, 2021, on their return from the United Arab Emirates, where they originally intended but did not undergo cosmetic surgery.
On their arrival back to Ireland they and most other passengers travelling to Ireland from certain designated countries, which at the time included the UAE, were required to undergo mandatory quarantine at a hotel for up to 14 days.
