Operation Fanacht: Gardai to have widespread checkpoints to stop people going out over bank holiday – but northern Irish residents still can




Gardai are launching widespread checkpoints from tomorrow morning in an effort to stop people travelling for the May bank holiday weekend.

‘Operation Fanacht’ will begin on Tuesday morning in an effort to prevent people travelling across the country in advance of the bank holiday.

The checkpoint operation will run from 7am Tuesday 28th of April until the end of the May bank holiday weekend on Monday night, 4 May.

Meanwhile Northern Irish residents can freely travel wherever they like once they make it past the border. Northern Ireland residents living along the border can freely travel into the South and drive across the entire country with gardai unable to do anything about it because the new legislation that Simon Harris signed into only applies to the Republic and is useless outside of the State.
