Gardaí have carried out inspections on 30 business premises in Kerry this week for allegedly failing to comply with Level 5 restrictions.
Under the restrictions, non-essential businesses must close while essential retailers - such as supermarkets, pharmacies and hardware shops - may remain open but must not sell non-essential items.
Radio Kerry understands that a number of such retailers had been selling Christmas-related products such as decorations, which are non-essential.
