Multiple Garda agencies got involved during a checkpoint recently, as special detectives joined those from the road traffic units on a stop near a county border.
Officers attached to the Thomastown Garda unit were stationed at Raheen on the N25 and Grannagh Roundabout on the N24 on Monday, near the Waterford/Kilkenny border.
But they weren't alone either, as detectives joined uniformed gardai from the Thomastown unit and more officers from the Customs & Excise section at the checkpoint.
While it isn't know if Gardai were targeting any specific offence at the time, they were ensuring the safety of road users.
Meanwhile, the force have issued a stern reminder to the public about behaviour on public transport - just days before the remaining Covid-19 regulations are dropped.
A "Freedom Day" from almost all remaining restrictions has been confirmed for next Monday.
One of the decisions made was that as of next Monday there’ll be no legal requirement to wear a mask in any setting, except healthcare.
With that in mind, Gardai boarded a number of trains on Tuesday to check on the public's compliance among other things.
A spokesperson explained: "Gardai from Kildare Division performing high visibility patrols this afternoon on trains and at stations on the Kildare commuter line. The purpose of these patrols is to prevent anti social behaviour and keep the travelling public safe."
Anti-social behaviour on trains could lead to the removal of passengers.
