Traffic jams can be expected this morning as Gardaí move to discourage people from making unnecessary journeys.
Operation Fanacht came into force at midnight across the country with 132 checkpoints a day on main roads, while there will be thousands more in towns and villages. The Garda commissioner says while they don’t have enforcement powers, if compliance becomes a problem, he will seek them.
