Gardai are warning motorists not to drink and drive this double bank holiday weekend with checkpoints ready to catch out lawbreakers.
Officers will be manning checks "day and night" over the course of the week but have given a specific warning to those driving the morning after drinking.
Assistant Commissioner, Paula Hilman, Roads Policing, An Garda Síochána, said: “While the majority of people act responsibly and don’t drink and drive, there are some who continue to take risks, for example, getting behind the wheel the morning after when they are still under the influence of alcohol.
