A major Garda operation to prevent the spread of Covid-19 over the upcoming May Bank Holiday weekend kicks in this morning.
Operation Fanacht, which was first implemented at Easter, will see thousands of checkpoints and patrols carried out by Gardaí through to midnight on Bank Holiday Monday.
They'll be located on main routes, in towns and villages, and at major tourist locations, as well as at parks and beaches.
It comes amid growing criticism of the new Covid-19 laws, after confirmation restrictions cannot be enforced on people traveling here on day trips from Northern Ireland.
