Garda Christmas crackdown under way in capital

GARDAÍ have announced a Christmas crackdown on motorists abusing the rules of the road.

Operation Freeflow, which aims to minimise traffic disruption in the capital in the run-up to Christmas, got under way last Sunday and will run until Christmas Eve.

This year’s campaign will also factor in the opening of the Luas red line extension to the O2 venue, as well as the opening of a new pedestrian and traffic bridge at Macken Street and the upgrading of the Quality Bus Corridor on the N3.
