Ahead of the busy Easter bank holiday weekend, An Garda Síochána is mounting a road safety campaign that will see every on-duty garda carry out road traffic enforcement duties.

With many people travelling over the weekend and bad weather forecast, gardaí are urging road users to take extra care, particularly around vulnerable road users such as pedestrians.
