Gardaí along the border need a "clear and resourced" plan if they are expected to enforce strict travel restrictions for people entering the Republic from Northern Ireland, the largest garda staff body has said.

The Garda Representative Association (GRA), which represents over 12,000 rank and file members, also questioned if there were enough gardaí and vehicles to implement the proposed Covid-19-related checks.
