A major Garda operation to prevent the spread of Covid-19 over the upcoming May Bank Holiday weekend kicks in this morning.
Operation Fanacht, which was first implemented at Easter, will see thousands of checkpoints and patrols carried out by gardaí through to midnight on Bank Holiday Monday.
They'll be located on main routes, in town and villages, and at major tourist locations, as well as at parks and beaches.
Brendan O'Connor, Donegal's Garda Representative Association spokesperson, says people have generally been very compliant with the Covid-19 restrictions and regulations.
"Well I think the overall experience of our members has been quite positive, despite the difficult circumstances they find themselves in and the community finds themselves in, and we certainly don't think that will change.
"Certainly people are displaying a very responsible attitude and the vast majority that our members have interacted with have been very compliant and acting responsibly, and hopefully that will continue to be the case."
