In what can only be described as a sketch from Only Fools and Horses, gardai will be holding checkpoints across Ireland but have absolutely no powers to turn people back.
Gardai have confirmed that a number of checkpoints will be setup across Ireland as Level 3 restrictions come into force overnight.
In an announcement, An Garda Siochana confirmed that a number of targeted checkpoints will be operational over the next four weeks.
It is understood that the checkpoints are being introduced in the interests of public safety.
Gardai say a number of crossborder checkpoints will be setup with the assistance of the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
