Traffic jams were reported on the second day of Operation Fanacht - as a special lane for trucks has been introduced.
132 checkpoints have been placed nationwide as part of Level 3 covid restrictions.
From this morning, there was a change to how Gardaí were carrying out Operation Fanacht.
At Junction 6 on the N7 for Castlewarden, and on the M2 at Junction 2 at Blanchardstown a special lane was introduced for trucks.
