At least 50 people were present at a house party in Lisbellaw last Friday night, May 28, in which almost £4,000 worth of fines were issued.

A PSNI spokesperson said police had received a report in relation to a house party and a suspected breach of The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2021 at an address in Lisbellaw at 10.30pm on Friday night.

"Officers attended the address where at least 50 people were present.

"Enforcement action was taken, including 14 Cov 7 £200 fines and one Cov 9 £1,000 fine. A Cov 2 Prohibition Notice was also issued," the police spokesperson added.

Police say that they expect further enforcement action to be taken.

While there has been a relaxation of restrictions in terms of mixing, there is still a limited number of people allowed to mix in a private setting.

Only six people, not including children, from two households are allowed to meet inside while up to 15 people, including children, are allowed to meet outdoors.
