Three women from Brazil who left a quarantine hotel in Dublin yesterday made it to south Galway before being turned back.
They were stopped on the M6 motorway near Loughrea by a Garda traffic patrol.
It's understood they were persuaded to return to the facility in north Dublin after officers "laid out their options".
Six people have now absconded from hotel quarantine since it was set up a week and a half ago.
