Garda Covid-19 checkpoints resume on national and local roads

High visibility Garda patrols and covid-19 checkpoints have resumed across the country to coincide with the increased restrictions.

The checkpoints will be on national and local roads but not motorways.

Patrols will resume at parks and public amenities, with additional Gardaí being deployed to the front line.

Deputy Garda Commissioner John Twomey says Gardaí will continue to work with the public.
