As a result of the Garda activity, drivers are being told to expect delays on the roads
Speaking on Tuesday afternoon, Commissioner Drew Harris said:"An Garda Síochána’s priority is keeping people safe. This will be a major policing operation across the country with high visibility of Garda members to support public health measures.
"An Garda Síochána is encouraging people not to travel out of their county unless it is for essential purposes. "We want to advise people that will be conducting major checkpoints on main routes and travelling by road from tomorrow will be different from travelling today. People using the roads are likely to face delays.
"Since the start of the pandemic, An Garda Síochána has adopted a graduated policing approach based on its tradition of consent. We have seen compliance by the vast majority of the public with this approach."As an organisation rooted in the community, An Garda Síochána understands the difficulties these measures place on everybody.
