Seven people were arrested over the long weekend by gardaí using the emergency powers in place during the coronavirus crisis.
Between Wednesday and Monday, gardaí ran a high-profile operation - Operation Fanacht - aimed at ensuring the public was complying with the current restrictions.
150 permanent checkpoints were placed on major routes, as while there were also 500 shorter and mobile checkpoints.
Officers were also deployed at tourist locations, natural beauty spots, parks and beaches.
While the 'vast majority' of people are said to have complied with the rules, the force says a small number of individuals didn't comply "despite receiving a number of warnings".
Gardaí say they will now follow policy and consult with the Director of Public Prosecutions before making a decision to charge any of the seven individuals arrested.
Meanwhile, the force says it also attended 144 COVID-19 related incidents that started as potential breaches of the regulations but ended up as other offences - such as public order, assault, road traffic or drug offences.
Those incidents are said to have included house & street parties, gatherings beyond the family unit and non-essential travel.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris thanked the public for their compliance over the Easter period, saying it helped save lives.
He noted: "Regrettably, there was a small minority who did not adhere to the guidelines or other legislation and Garda members had no option but to use the regulations or other legislation.
"This demonstrates the need for the regulations not only from an enforcement point of view, but also to support those who are willingly living their lives in line with the public health guidelines."
The duration of the Garda emergency powers was extended by Health Minister Simon Harris on Friday after the Government announced the current coronavirus restrictions would remain in place until May 5th.
